A distortion of love in A Midsummer Night’s Dream

I am writing about this topic because I agree with the interpretation and representation that this play gives to love.

According to the play and from what I understood, love is seen as something that goes beyond the senses, making us living an illusion and questioning between reality and fantasy…is just that in this play it exceeds the limits.

The distortion of love is shown because in the play the characters present inexplicable and very strange behavior, revealing the darkest side of love where the romantic situations that are supposed to be performed are interrupted by events that affect the harmony of love. For example the fact that Titania falls in love with the ass after the effect of the potion; something that is not natural, because in a way she was forced to fell in love with him. This event breaks the articulateness and easiness of love and does not allow the characters to show their true desires; it is just an illusion, a misinterpretation of love.

Have you ever felt like this? Facing a distortion of love because you are blinded in it?

The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid

Will make or man or woman madly dote
