311 Words2 Pages

There are so many ways in which love affects one's life. In certain ways, love makes a fool careless. Those who are not careful or do not treat love with respect can have it change on them. Although some may not realise it, love is a very precious thing. A Midsummer's Night Dream is the perfect symbolization for ups and downs of love.

Throughout the story love changes many times. As Hermia says (act 3, scene 2, page 11) “You still loved me when we fell asleep, but when you woke up you left me.” Love changes when Helena thinks they are making fun of her by saying they love her. In the story Hermia becomes mad due to losing her love to Helena. Love has the ability to split friends in two in the blink of an eye.
