In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet‚ love is seen through a tragic lens‚ ending in suicide. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ love is a folly and used to evoke laughter. However‚ some of the notions of love presented in either play tend to coincide‚ as in Friar Lawrence’s speech in Act 2‚ Scene 6 and Lysander’s lines in Act 1‚ Scene 1. Each speech features rhetoric
