Theseus states, “What say you, Hermia? Be advised, fair maid: To you your father should be as a god, One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it. Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.” (Shakespeare 1.1.46-52). This is stating that Theseus wants Demetrius to be Hermia’s husband and he thinks he is perfect for her. This is also stating that Theseus thinks Demetrius is an worthy gentleman and everyone loves him. Theseus states, “Rather your eyes must with his judgment look.” (Shakespeare 1.1.57). This is saying that you must see him like a man I do as he is good for your love life. This is also saying that if you do not see him like me there will be consequences if you do not love him. A quote made by Shakespeare in his play is, “Either to die the death or to abjure Forever the society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires. Know of your youth. Examine well your blood—Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice, You can endure the livery of a nun, For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold, fruitless moon. Thrice-blessèd they that master so their blood To undergo such maiden pilgrimage. But earthlier happy is the rose distilled Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn, Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.” (Shakespeare 1.1.65-78). This is stating that if Hermia does not marry Demetrius there will be consequences to face. This is explaining how Theseus will execute Hermia, if she does not love a man, that she does not love. This type of love is explained by, how parental love is demonstrated in this
