Although Shakespeare shows multiple relationships throughout the play, he forgot to mention that most are violent and toxic.

intertwined by the theme of love. In the stories, love is out of balance and asymmetrical among four young Athenians. Although the main conflict of this play stems from relationships, Shakespeare shows the real tragedy is not being loved. Through the three main female characters (Helena, Hermia, and Titania), Shakespeare engages the notion of beauty and fairness to demonstrate the subjectiveness of love.
