Theme Of Love In A Midsummer Night's Dream

The mood is tense when we find out that Brabantio is angry that Othello has taken his daughter. He is determined that Othello must have tricked Desdemona into loving him. Othello defends his love for her, and she in turn vows her love for him. This situation of a forbidden relationship is romantic, it makes the reader feel a great deal of respect and happiness for their mutual love. When Iago begins poisoning Othello’s mind with false suspicion of Desdemona’s fidelity, the mood is extremely frustrating.

Miss Haversham had ulterior motives in adopting Estella, which was not a loving action on her part, but a calculated maneuver to turn the child into a haughty heartless instrument of revenge against men. Estella was encouraged to practice her disdain on Pip and to break his heart. Paradoxically, Miss Havershams greatest sin was against herself. By hardening her heart she lost her generous, affectionate nature and becomes withered emot... ... middle of paper ... ... He endures hardship and triumphantly emerges a mature, thoughtful person.

He also tells her that he did not love her and would have rather not been born. In the quote "accuse me of such things that it was better my mother had not borne me” (3.1.120-121). This quote makes it clear that he is homosexual and will always continue to be such, stating he would never prefer existing to loving a woman. He is even incapable of loving his mother as once before. Throughout the story, he is almost constantly complaining and condemning her for being disloyal to his father, which only further proves to him that women are incapable of truly loving anyone.

Claudio was only sorrowful after he found out Hero had been framed. Claudio and Hero’s relationship will not last because he was extremely cruel towards Hero—in this case, he lacked the ‘love’ component. Claudio was very selfish and only regarded his own feelings. Furthermore, Claudio did not personally apologize to Hero, therefore she shouldn’t have forgiven him because he did not deserve

Although Dexter’s specialty is not the best, Pam Noles uses him to show both the consequences of apathy and exhibiting a flawed mindset. As with false idols, Dexter’s lust for Tamika and projection onto her of everything he wants shrouds his thoughts as he “couldn’t imagine her ever forgetting him”. What is saddest about Dexter and Tamika’s relationship is the underlying truth she refuses to share. When “the last bits of him [flowed] from every part of her”, Dexter’s emotions exploded with rage, frustration, and depression. Even when Tamika prizes keeping her friendship with Peek and attempts to swoon a player, Tamika is disparaged for her erotic behavior by her friend.

Antigone's tragic flaw was amplified by her loyalty for her brother; she acted irrational, in not taking preparation or thoroughness into consideration when burying her brother. Further more when confronted by Creon, himself she disrespected and basically told him to silence himself because his words were "distasteful" to her. So then sealing her death by becoming an immediate martyr for the wrong cause... anything against Creon's will. Creon, in his paranoia was plagued with the feeling of incompetence and need to establish dominance. His decree that no one would bury Polyneices only provoked the people of Thebes into thinking of him as insensitive to their culture.

This adds to the sense of betrayal which he already feels as a result of his mother's actions. Polonius is keen to preserve his position and also displays a mistrust of Hamlet's intentions towards his daughter, forbidding her to see the prince and later using her as bait to ingratiate himself further to Claudius by proving that Hamlet's madness is the result of love. The exchanges between the two are characterised by a tension o... ... middle of paper ... ...e is articulate even in madness, and retains a gentleness which causes even Claudius to show compassion for her suffering. She has very little power or autonomy and her role as a constant and forsaken lover is one of great poignancy. Laertes is forceful, ruthless and manipulated by Claudius.

Hamlet avoiding conflict causes his girlfriend to stop talking to him. It also causes his "friends," Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to deceive him. Even though Hamlet is pensive to the point of obsession, he acts rashly too. An example of this is when he stabs Polonius through the drape, without even checking to see who he is. Is it acts like these make him seem absolutely mad, because he behaves so erratically.

She views herself as a loyal and faithful wife who has every good and pure desire for herself and Othello. Jealousy however is a deceptive device that gives Othello the illusion that Desdemona is unfaithful and dishonest. When Othello is enraged about the loss of the handkerchief the audience knows that he is consumed with jealousy which is causing him to lose his temper. On the other hand Desdemona is unaware that Othello is jealous saying, "Men 's natures wrangle with inferior things, / Though great ones are their object" (3.4.165-166). When she says this she believes that something has gone wrong at work and Othello is just taking it out on her ( the inferior thing).

Yet, he still continued to act mad towards Ophelia by telling her “ You should not have believed me, for virtue / cannot so (inoculate) our old stock but we shall / relish of it. I loved you not.” (III.i.127-129). These cold and harsh words state a completely different attitude than his previous behaviors and tones he used when addressing Ophelia. This break up along with his father’s death adds even more misery than Hamlet expected to take, and that caused him to take an offensive stance against Ophelia. Hamlet genuinely reacts mad and crazed towards Ophelia even though he knows no one else but him and Ophelia are in the room, but the reader is able to understand that Claudius and Polonius are eavesdropping.
