This love makes her recklessly give him all the special treatment from the fairies just to make him stay. Moreover, even though she dislikes his qualities like his “mortal grossness” or talking too much. She puts in a lot effort to make him perfect like by getting her fairies to tie up his tongue because he talks too much. In addition, her impetuous love carries on where she has a romantic encounter, sleeping with the unworthy donkey-headed man who is a humiliation for Titania, as the love potion makes her attracted to him. As a result, Titania’s love for Bottom results in making foolish hasty actions.

The Blame As is the case with many others, Romeo and Juliet fell in love accidentally in the story “Romeo and Juliet,” by William shakespeare. Romeo’s unreal love for Rosaline was soon cleared with the introduction of the capulets daughter, Juliet. As can be known with any tragedy, their love failed. While many reasons remain for this failure, including fate, young age and a no rationality, it will be argued in this essay that Friar Lawrence also played a role in their love’s failure. Without thinking, Romeo and Juliet became victims of their own love chargeable to Friar Lawrence, young age and fate.

He declares Robin as an impish and mischievous elf and goes on to list his mischievous antics, “skim{s} milk,and sometimes labour in the quern, And the bootless make the breathless housewife churn” (Shakespeare, 56, Sc. I. Act II, Ln 36-37). The fairy was on his way until they both saw their masters approach. Oberon and Titania fight over a small indian boy that Titania refuses to let Oberon have.

Romeo’s aversion to take part in the Capulet masque was overturned by Mercutio’s persistence, giving way to the happenstance of Romeo and Juliet’s meeting. This first insistence comes when Mercutio addresses the merry group, calling that, “gentle Romeo, we must have you dance,” (Shakespeare I.iv.13). Mercutio is trying to cheer Romeo up, by having him dance, to get him out of his loving rut. Soon after, Romeo stakes the claim that he had a dream, presaging death, made due from the ensuing party. Mercutio taunts him, saying “that dreamers often lie,” and rants about the fictional Queen Mab (Shakespeare I.iv.50-115).

In Act 2, Oberon puts a love potion on Titania as a trick to make her fall in love with a beast. “I will place the pollen from the flowers loin Titania's eyelids so that the next thing she sees- be it lion, bear, wolf, or bull- she will fall madly in love with, and I will get that boy.”(5) Oberon controls Titaina with a love potion to make her fall in love with a hideous beast because he is angry that she won't give him the little boy. In anger he is controlling his wife to get what he wants. In the same Act, Oberon tells his fairy servant Puck… “All I want is that little human boy she keeps.” Oberon wants the little boy to make him into his own henchman, but Titania will not let him have the boy because she feels responsible for the child when his mom

The narration was told through stain glass windows, beginning the story with a French Prince named Adam who has a lack of empathy and his judgement of appearance towards others. After denying an old beggar woman for shelter on a cold night, he finds out that the woman is actually an Enchantress and turns him into a beast. The only way the curse can be broken is if the Beast receives love in return along with him learning to love before time is up. The time is dictated by a rose that the old beggar woman offered the Beast. One of the main character’s Belle offers to take her father’s place as being a prisoner when her father Maurice is caught trespassing.

In William Shakespeare 's A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the plot revolves around love and the drama that accompanies it. Hermia and Lysander, two Athenian lovers, are forbidden to be together by Egeus, the father of Hermia. To avoid the punishments of Egeus and Athenian law, the lovers flee to the woods. 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. Simultaneously, Oberon, the fairy king, and Titania, the fairy queen struggle while bickering over a young indian servent.

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. Mercutio laughs and says ”If love be rough with you, be rough with love; Prick love for pricking and you beat love down”(I.4.27-28). In another scenario of Romeo and Mercutio’s foils is when Romeo tells his friends about a dream he had about the party and is expecting a disastrous outcome of the party. Mercutio makes fun of Romeo because he does not believe that dreams can become visions of impending danger.

He seems to crave the idea of being in love more than Rosaline herself, and his words show that he is inexperienced in love. But when he meets Juliet, he realizes how insincere his love was, and is immediately smitten by her. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night”(1.5.50). His sudden change of love and the fact that they share a kiss without knowing the other’s name shows the speed of love.
