Hermia Vs Demersus

Decent Essays
When others get married you go to their wedding, bring gifts and praise for the newly married couple, and then you more than likely follow up with the reception with food, cake, fun, and laughter. But, no one never really knows what happens years or days later after a couple get married. You don’t know if they argue, if they got married because everyone else was saying “get married,” or if they did it because really meant something to one another.
In this situation, if Demtertirus should've waited around to see if another girl (like Hermia) would come along he shows more affection to her than to Helena. So in this situation, I think Helena should just divorce Demetrius and go along to find someone who her and her father both like.
If Helena

Also, the developed and balanced love shared between Theseus and Hippolyte displays contrast when compared to the relationship of Oberon and Titania, whose love is a quarrel and leaves the world around them in shambles. A Midsummer Night’s Dream claims that marriage shows the true and utter fulfillment of romantic love. Shakespeare has a way of pulling the audience out of the emotional aspects of this play and instead uses the characters to poke fun at the agony and annoyances of those who are in love.…
