"MSND" Love Essay
Act 4 (attempting ICE but really not getting the 'E' in ICE
What do you think Shakespeare is trying to say about love and infatuation? I believe that Shakespeare is saying that you will know if you are in love or not. You will have no doubts, you will feel like you've never felt before and yo would do anything for that person. Infatuation may be confusing, but if you have doubts about being with taht person then it's not love.
Lysander and Hermia were deeply in love. Both wanting to run away just so they could get married. Except Puck had accidentally poured the juice from the flower on Lysander's eyes. He was under a spell and he said that he loved Helena instead of Hermia. When the spell was broken he loved Hermia once again. Although, he thought that it was all a dream. As Lysander had said, "My Lord, I shall reply amazedly, half sleep, half waking: but as yet, I swear, I cannot truly say how I came here."
Demetrius once vowed to Helena that he loved her so, but once he saw Hermia he took back those vowels. Helena was crushed and she was so jealous of Hermia. Puck had squeezed the juice from the flower unto Demetrius eyes and he loved Helena once again. "My love to Hermia, melted as the snow, seems to me now as the remembrance of an idle gaud", said Demetrius.
Oberon had Titania put under a spell too, along with Bottom. Bottom had had a donkey's head put onto his own and Titania had awakened and was in love with him. She had said to him, "What wilt thou hear some music, my sweet love?" The spell had been broken and she loved Oberon again. I believe that all the spells were meant for infatuation except Demetrius because he had loved Helena once before. His love for Hermia was infatuation. Yet Lysander and Hermia's love is definitely not infatuation, its just love.
