Lysander and Demetrius are constantly ‘warring’ over their love for Hermia or Helena, and do not observe the rules of fair play. Puck’s ‘love’ for mischief caused him to disregard fair treatment of the mortals, and the use of love juice in general could be considered unfair, however, without it, there would be no ‘happy ending’ to the play. The origin of the ‘war’ between Oberon and Titania is Oberon’s jealousy of Titania’s love for a mortal boy, whom she stole from and Indian King. This storyline links to the quote ‘All is fair in love and war’ in multiple ways. Firstly, it was unfair of Titania to steal the Indian King’s son.
Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Love is Irrational Love is Irrational. In the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream Love is an Irrational yet a gentle force and it always wins at the end, since the play ends with three marriages. When characters in the play fall in love, it is not determined by their rational awareness but by their irrational subconsciousness. The love presented in the play can be characterised by it act of collaboration between different characters. Romantic love is a lead in the play but as a secondary theme.
What better to say then jealousy is both love and hate at the same time. But others could agree that love over powers all, in this case of the play Othello, hate conqueres all and turns jealousy into madness. Othello lets the jealousy take over his life and his wisdom of his true love for Desdemona. His brain and heart became decepting and he believed that his wife had been unfaithful. Othello was not a guillable man but he was a believer in anyone.
Lord Capulet essentially endorsed Juliet’s relationship with Romeo without even knowing it. The quarrel between the families caused them to lose their progenies. The deaths of beloved Romeo and Juliet were due to the, “Capulet[‘s and] Montague[‘s], [...] hate, that Heaven [found] means to kill [their] joys with love!” (V.3.315-317) The dispute between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s made Romeo and Juliet’s love less achievable; their love was quite tenacious that they killed themselves to be together. In an acute argument between Juliet and her father, Lord Capulet demanded that she was to, “go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church or [he would] drag [Juliet] on a hurdle thither” (III.5.173-174). Lord Capulet was in dismay when Juliet repudiated marrying Paris, that she only longed for true love.
He is now angry with Tybalt and wants revenge. ‘Fire-eyed fury be my conduct now.’ Romeos change in mood is significant as it leads to the death of Tybalt and Romeo being banished . Shakespeare also uses dramatic irony to make Act 3 Scene 1 such an intense and significant scene. When Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt all the other characters are confused as to why. ‘Good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own.’ The audience know the reason why Romeo won’t fight Tybalt, which is because Romeo and Juliet are now married.
How does Shakespeare present the theme of love in hamlet? Shakespeare presents the theme of love in many aspects. One of them is that love is reoccurring, it is a vital component for it, as it decides hamlet and many others fates, their deaths.

Also he presents love as ambiguous and vague ,plain.
Cassio is simply a handsome, virile man and this makes Othello jealous. Lago’s own wife Emilia is ignorant of his actions, she will do anything he said because she loves him but Iago always uses her rather than treat her as a woman he truly loves. Iago explains that his hatred of Othello is for choosing Cassio as his officer not him as he had expected. However, after Iago has aroused Othello’s suspicions about his wife’s behaviour, Othello becomes inarticulate and ferocious. Also, this is the first time that Othello, not Iago or anyone, just himself been a negative attention to either his nationality or his age, he feels like he is the outsider of them all.
This is an absurd and is hyperbolic which makes it comedic. This is an oxymoron and is Dramatic Irony because it is theoretical and over the top. It’s like it is unreal love and he has excessive emotion towards love. He has a sexists view on who can love more out of the two genders, “There is no women’s side can bide the beating of so strong a passion as love doth give my heart”. This means that in Orsino’s view no one can love as much as him and cannot embrace the amount of love he has for Olivia.
Moreover, the older sisters implicitly inferior status in his affections is immediately obvious to the member of the court in attendance.” (Newman 1) Lear does not realize that he is destroying his relationship with his daughter Cordelia, but also he is not realizing that Goneril and Regan’s mischief will lead him into insanity, which later causes the loss of father-daughter bond in the play. As a result King Lear is driven mad with regret and his life will ultimately change due to his initial naivety to the truth. Gloucester gullibility also leads him to mislead his family. As a father he is blind to see the truth
1). For a man of his social rank during his times, love was most likely not the most serious of problems that Orsino would have to face but Shakespeare shows that blinded by his foolish pursuit of love, he is deeply troubled. The Duke creates an image of what he believes Olivia to be, yet he does not know her passed her outer appearance so he does understand why she is unable to woo him back “[…] / Can bide the beating of so strong a passion / As love doth give my heart; […] / So big, to hold so much: […]” (II. iv. 94-97).
