In Sakuntala and the ring of recollection, Sakuntala and King Dusyanta love for each triumph over a tragedy ending. The play portrays romance between two people that have strong Hindu beliefs and hiding their love from their family and friends.
Will hunting in the woods King Dusyanta comes upon and beautiful woman named Sakuntala at the hermitage she is living with her father and friends. So overwhelm with Sakuntala beauty, the king seeks out her friends, he catches up to one of her friends and asks about Sakuntala. And Priyamvade replies to the king with,
“Sir, even in her religious life, she is a subject to her father, but he does intend to give to a suitable husband.”

    It is well known that Shakespeare’s comedies contain many marriages, some arranged, some spontaneous. During Queen Elizabeth's time, it was considered foolish to marry for love. However, in Shakespeare’s plays, people often marry for love. With a closer look into two of his most famous plays As You Like It and Twelfth Night or What You Will, I found that while marriages are defined and approached differently in these two plays, Shakespeare’s attitudes toward love in both plays share similarities. The marriages in As You Like It’s conform to social expectation, while the marriages are more rebellious in Twelfth Night. Love, in both plays, was defined as

  • The Perplexity of Love Demonstrated in Twelfth Night

    2184 Words  | 5 Pages

    Like most fairy tales that commence with "Once upon a time," William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy where a basic conflict is eventually resolved so that all the protagonists live "happily ever after." Similar to Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, Twelfth Night not only includes conflict resolution, but also a wedding in the final act meant to signify the good fortune that is bestowed on all the central characters at the conclusion of the play. Ultimately love is supposed to conquer all things. As displayed in fairy tales, love comes complete with chirping birds and a rainbow painted sky. Shakespeare, however, mocks love in its absurdity and accuses it of imperfection because love is a truth that is not perfect and does not always triumph. By examining the characters Olivia and Orsino, a reader will recognize that love is inconsistent and unconventional, and is capable of being genuine at times and egotistical at others; in order for love to be unconditional a level of openness and honesty must first occur. This level of sincerity is evident through the theme of gender bending.

This forced Aissatou to leave him as she did not want this lifestyle.
