The Theme Of Love In A Midsummer Night's Dream
How does love in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream relate to the love today between teens in present day? Shakespeare uses many love tactics that are used even today between teens to show how love stays the same throughout the years and through time itself.
“You have her father's love, Demetrius. Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him.” (1.1.95-96)
“Before the time I did Lysander see Seem'd Athens as a paradise to me. O, then, what graces in my love do dwell That he hath turned a heaven unto a hell!” (1.1.209-212)
“The course of true love never did run smooth” [1.1.134-136]

Teens today truly don’t know what “Love” is until they face its challenges, but they test it out with each other to experience it or to see how it feels. Shakespeare was actually old and experienced enough to know what actual “True love” is, instead of a teen that has no idea what he/she is getting into to “try” and get a better understanding of the concept of love.
Love has remained similar to Love back in 1540 up until 2016 and will probably stay the same for a very long time. Shakespeare definitely conveyed a love between his characters that stayed the same throughout time until today between the teens in present
