This first insistence comes when Mercutio addresses the merry group, calling that, “gentle Romeo, we must have you dance,” (Shakespeare I.iv.13).

They face the difficulty of love when Puck, the mischievous servant of fairy king Oberon, mistakenly drips a love potion into the eyes of Lysander, who falls in love with the first creature he sees upon awakening- another Athenian woman named Helena.

Mercutio is different from Romeo because he does not believe in love and makes fun of Romeo and falling in love so heavily all the time. When Romeo describes his love for Rosaline using a rose with thorns as a metaphor.

Love is one of the most important themes of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and a distinction can be made between love guided by thought and love led by passion. In classical mythology it is easy to find the second kind of love. The Greek deity Eros is the personification of passionate and physical desire – and he is not the only example. As a result, it is not surprising that Shakespeare portrays this kind of love with classical mythological references. Shakespeare uses classical references not only to refer to love (as was often done in literature), but also to make a statement about love that is guided by passion.
Midsummer Night’s Dream The Thematic Idea of Love In the play Midsummer Night’s Dream ,the couple that shows the best example of the thematic idea of love would be Hermia and Lysander. What they show us about love,as human beings,is the strong bonding,the strong love one can for take.
