=﻿The Difficulty of Love=


 * Thesis Statement ****: **__//A MidSummer Night's Dream //by William Shakespear is about the difficulty of love; through out the book, Shakespeare makes a point by implying that love always make unwanted confusion and conflict among people and true love is hard to gain. __

**Point number 1**: Lovers' pathes are not always smooth like they want it to be; in fact, their pathes are very rough and have many obstacles that block them from gaining true love.

**evidence #1:** Hermia and Lysander love each other and want to marry; however, they are unable to express their wishes to others because Hermia's father, Egeus strictly wants them to seperate and make Hermia marry Demetrius instead.

**evidence#2:** When Hermia refuses to marry Demetius Theseus replies to Hermia, "Either to die the death, or to abjure..You can endure the livery of a nun,.."(p.19) All three of these choices limit Hermia's love toward Lysander.

**evidence#3:** When Hermia and Lysader are denied from sharing love, they decide to escape to the woods just beyond the reach of Athenian law to get married. However, even this strategy fails to work for them, for Demetrius and Helena finds out about the plan and decides to follow them. As a result, the four lovers start to have conflict between each other.

**Transition**: Due to the magical powers of fairies in the wood, the four lovers start to get lost in their paths of love and becomes confused and this has disasterous concequences.

**Point numer 2**:People's love does not always stay the same; therefore it makes the lovers hard to make the right choies and be able to fully understand what is going on around them.

**evidence#1**: Puck(Robin Goodfellow) makes a mistake in applying the love potion on the wrong Athenian boy; therefore, Lysander falls in love with Helena instead and this makes great confustion and misunderstanding among all four lovers.

**evidence#2**: Because his mistake causes to much confusion and starts to turn the lovers in the enemies of each other, Puck has to hurriedly change back what he has done. Even this is not easy to do, due to all the conflict between the lovers. He has to seperate the two men before they start slashing at each other for blood.

**evidence#3:** Also, Oberon puts the love potion on the fairy queen, Titania, to mock her and persuade her into giving him the changeling boy, who they are fighting over. As a concequence, Titania falls in love with a character with an ass head, named bottom. She is enveloped by the strength of love toward Bottom, however, when the magic wears off, she can not really believe that she had actually been in love with this monster. When she finds out the truth, she exclaims,"How came these things to pass? O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!"(p.73)

**Transition**: Thus, love can easily cause confusion among lovers, which can result in serious conflict.

**Point number 3**: Love can easily cause conflict among lovers due to their similarity in their paths of love and can even have disasterous concequences

**evidence#1**: When Puck applies the love potion on Lysander and Demetrius's eyes to make them fall in love with Helena, Helena believes that they are mocking her, for their is no way that they could fall in love with her when they had been in love with Hermia all along. As a result, Helena starts quarreling with Hermia, calling her short and all kinds of names.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">**evidence#2**: When Hermia appears, she can not understand what is going on with Lysander. She decides to blame it all on Helena and starts calling her names. She exclaimes,"O me! You juggler, you canker-blossom! You theif of love! What, have you come by night and stone my love's heart from him?"

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">**evidence #3**: When both Lysander and Demetrius are in love with Helena, they decide to have a dual to see who would truly become her love. Lysander says,"Not she holds me not. Now follow, if thou darest, to try whose right, of thine or mine, is most in Helena" and Demetrius immediately replies,"Follow? Nay, I'll go with thee, cheek by jowl."(p.63) Puck has to seperate them by using magic before one of them gets killed or becomes seriously injured.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">**Transition**: As these examples illustrate, Love can come back and stab one in the back by causing unwanted conflicts beween two lovers.


 * Conclusion**: Although, lovers' paths are usually rough and are full of obstacles, lovers usually find their true love at the end; the four lovers in this book, for example, eventually get to marry who they truly love. Thus, true love is definitely hard to gain; however, once one find his or her true love, one will most likely get to enjoy one's life and live it fully.
