Summer 2021

Midnight Summer Night’s Dream

Being in love means that you have to love or like someone beyond their looks or what they have to offer you, that could mean gifts,money,luxurious lifestyle, etc.  As said by Helena “Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.” Someone can see you and fall in love with you because of what they see and notice when they first see you but appearances lie all the time. When you first meet someone they’re nice and sweet but as time goes on a person shows their true colors and you must be willing to accept them for who they are or let them go if you notice that they’re not good for your wellbeing.  As a human being you have to notice their values and how they treat others. I always say that it’s important how a man treats his mother because if he loves, cares, respects and protects his mother then he is more than likely to do the same for his wife. Unfortunately in the Shakespeare plays we see that women don’t have much of a say when it comes to love which is unfortunate because women would end up being with people they didn’t love. What made is worse was that their own fathers would set up a marriage for their daughters like the father Eugeus and his daughter Hermia when he believed that since she belonged to him and he could force her to marry Demetruis and if not he would kill her, it is horrendous to see that a father even had a thought of killing his daughter over a man.

    I really enjoyed reading your post. It is so unfortunate to see that women can’t make decisions regarding marriage or any other persona decisions when it comes to their love lives. It is definitely saddening to see women be forced into relationships with men whom they don’t love or want to be with. I agree that it is very harendous to know that a father would think of killing his daughter if she rebelled in marrying a person she doesn’t love. What kind of parent wouldn’t want their Childs every happiness?
