Love is an extremely passionate and emotion. It overcomes all emotion, and makes people capable of doing incredibly spontaneous things. In, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Shakespeare focuses more on the harsh nature of love, and how the people who are in love suffer. Throughout the whole play, there is a petty love square that consists of four Athenians. Lysander loves Hermia, Hermia loves Lysander, Helena loves Demetrius, but Demetrius loves Hermia creating a comedic story. Though it becomes more complex when Hermia’s father doesn’t want his daughter to be married to Lysander, but wants her to be married to Demetrius. This causes the couple to run away, Demetrius to run after them, and Helena to follow Demetrius. Then when the group of lovers end up in the forest, powers from above solve their quarrel. Shakespeare seems to satirize not the emotion of love, but the people who have been taken over by it. He also implies comedically, that only way to fix people who are captured by love, can only be set straight by fictional magic. The love battle within the play is very comedic. It sets a happy tone, that implies a happy foreshadowing of the outcome of the story. It also sets the idea of love as being an endless, vicious, loop. Lysander and Hermia are in love, and cannot be together due to Hermia’s predetermined fate. Demetrius wants something that is already taken, and Helena wants something that she cannot have. Shakespeare focuses on the hurt that derives when you want someone so bad, and when you can’t have them; you are willing to do anything to make it work. Lysander and Hermia decide to run away, and find a happy life of their own. Helena wants to get Demetrius's attention so badly, that she is willing to break the bad news that his love has left him; that way, she can be by his side to comfort him. Helena’s idea backfires when Demetrius decides to scan he earth to find his love, and save her from Lysander. These peo
