Introduction
A Midsummer Night Dream is a comedy novel that has engaged several couples to ensure that love theme is well expressed in their contest. The play induces both the right side of the love as well as the unscrupulous bit of it. Regarding that, the love theme tends to dominate in the play as there are relationship building and marriage induction to show the repercussions that propagate all aspects of love. The paper will, therefore, focus on the love theme within different couples in the novel. Similarly, it will highlight some of the constraints that the couples go through in the process of consolidating their relationship and marriage life.
Demetrius and Hermia Love Relationship
Demetrius portrays a dilemma that usually happens with the love contest or slightly within the relationships. He falls in love with two ladies, and therefore, he is left in difficulties upon deciding on whom to retain and who to lose. It is between Hermia and Helena that Demetrius finds it challenging to balance his love for them. In the process, the love theme complication side is induced to show how imprudent it becomes to compete in the chase of the future husband. In this case, various rituals and used magic are incorporated to liberate the Lysander’s love for Hermia.
It is through the Puck who is responsible for ensuring that he offers the love potion to those that need it (Shakespeare, 1910). Hermia is determined to restore her love with Lysander and, therefore, despite the stubborn nature of the Demetrius, and she finds her way back to Lysander. It is, therefore, evident that love dwells where there is love, and it hard for it to be diverted no matter how hard one may try it. The impact of love under Hermia show the great extent that can never resist that of Lysander. For that reason, the theme of love is put out in a way that suggests in each and every relationship, and there must be a centered person to mediate and help the couple restore their happiness just like Puck did.
Lysander and Helena Love Relationship
Lysander's relationship ends with Helena since there are constraints that are caused by the cultural perspectives of society. Lysander is in love with Hermia. However, Hermia's father had chosen her a husband to marry. The chosen bridegroom happens to be Demetrius. Lysander is left with no option and is forced to run away to the forest where he went to console himself. In contrast to that, we can learn that love is dynamic as it is misspelled, thus ending up falling in love with Helena (Shakespeare, 1910).
The constraints and the norm of the society upon which the ready ladies are chosen gents to marry alter the good love marriage, thus, obstacles in the union of unwanted (Lamb, 2000). For instance, Helena and Lysander's marriage possesses a significant issue that is encountered due to the mismatch of their interest and love for each other. The magic tends to control love in society, and therefore, its outcome is absolutely complicated. The natural desire is suspended due to the fear of father-in-laws demands. The marriage practice weakens as the magic spell continues to diminish.
Oberon and Titania Love Relationship
Oberon is a king who happens to have married Titania. Their unending conflict in their marriage life portrays a significant picture of the love distortion that leads them to discomfort. The desire for Oberon to accommodate an Indian prince as his knight was the sole source of their conflict between him and his wife. As a result, Oberon develops an idea of how to revenge his wife. The action taken is to send Puck to access the love portion that was to induce confusion of his love and actions to his wife. The magic portion ends up transforming everything else into chaos. Titania turns to ass as the love portion drives her more farce.
In contrast, love tends to be overtaken by the magic spell that is often used to castigate other behavior that is not natural in a relationship. Under revenge progress, the love that was existing and romance are inverted by the disagreements that lead to the dark side of love (Shakespeare, 1910). The blindness that is caused by Titania is initiated through love, and therefore, she is convinced that her beauty would still rule the decision on the Oberon. In the end, Oberon and his beautiful queen reconcile, thus painting a significant impression that love in marriage possesses the power to make positive progress.
Conclusion
Love, therefore, is a symbolic aspect that has been used in the play to contemporary reference to the insanity that exists in a relationship or somewhat in marriage. The illusionary creation of the magic portrays a significant role of love in marriage, and therefore, with the incorporation of other inconvenient aspects, it energies conflict in a relationship. By seeking a love portion, create a dark side of the love life that leads to the problems most marriages and relationships are in. Regarding the convergence of the lovers to the forest is an indication that shows a critical aspect of the relationship in which love is not in manipulation. Instead, circumstances and the external forces are in control, thus manipulation of the relationship building and conflict. However, it is clear that with the diminishing power of love portion-controlled through magic, the reconciliations are attained, hence the development of firm marriages. The romance and love life, therefore, can be said to significant when it comes out naturally without external forces bothering it.
