Turn in A Midsummer Night's Dream
DISCUSS: What could Shakespeare be suggesting about love?
Which of these messages seems to fit with your interpretation of the play?
1. Love is an illusion, like a spell one is under.
2. True love will persevere through difficulties.
3. Love is chaotic and messy and often doesn't make sense.
4. Young love is intense and emotional and often leads the lovers into a type of madness, but it is shallow and fickle.
5. Even though love may be an illusion, it is worth it.
6. Love is but a dream.
7. Love is not the result of free will, but of strings being pulled by FATE.
8. Other?
Journal #7: Choose one of the above statements (or craft your own) and write a paragraph explaining why you believe it may be the play's message, using evidence from the play. Any other final thoughts on Midsummer?
