Never risk your heart for a fool, for if you do you will surely become one. Love can be found in many different ways, but the idea of ​​true love depends on one's opinion. Love can be silly or amazing depending on who you are. Love is a dark and intangible feeling that often exposes its targets to danger, pain and suffering. Love is meant to be full of happiness, but it works to weaken us and push us to depend on and be sensitive towards others. Love is built on a foundation of trust that can be shattered at any moment, a thin barrier between formality and chaos. Foolishness is defined as a lack of common sense or judgment, subjecting yourself to anything that seems foolish, isn't it? True love does not exist in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. The 3 main relationships that are perceived as true love, which are just plain stupid, are Oberon and Titania, Theseus and Hippolyta, Demetrius and Helena. First of all, the fairy world also provides an environment where true love is stupid. The relationship between Oberon and Titania provides a perfect example of a marriage between two leaders where the male feels in authority, as is also the case with the relationship between Theseus and Hippolyta. Titania and Oberon share a common mutual distrust that manifests itself several times in different situations, appearing in the form of jealousy: How can you so out of shame, Titania, Watch my credit with Hippolyta, Knowing that I know your love for Theseus "I don't did you lead through the glittering night to Perigenia, whom he had raped?” (2.1.74-78)The lack of trust shown by both clearly destroys any argument for the existence of true love among the fairies, but it is Oberon's actions in playing a prank on his wife... middle of the paper... ...they're playing a joke on her. This shows that even when Demetrius tries to confess love to Helena, she continues to reject him. In conclusion, A Midsummer Night's Dream, a play in which we discover that love is foolish. The show shows that what is considered true love is often not love at all. It shows that love in the play is more than likely selfishness and obsession. It is shown by the amount of challenges true love faces with the characters' relationships that some emotions may exist, but considering them love is just plain silly. Constantly staying in love is the real challenge these characters face and they ultimately fail in small or big ways. Although the play may seem like a happy ending, Oberon must live with the guilt of having played a trick on Titania. Even when it seems to be a happy ending, where everything seems fine, it was all just an illusion.
