A Midsummers Night's Dream.

In almost all of Shakespeare's plays, there is usually one major theme that he wants his audience to grasp. A Midsummer Night's Dream is no exception to this pattern. Shakespeare uses fictional characters interacting with realistic characters, to let the audience better understand the theme he wants to portray. Throughout A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare uses his poetical skills to show how difficult and confusing love can sometimes be. Shakespeare starts the play off with …

…goes back to his true overwhelming love for Hermia. The removal of the enchantments sets things, for the most part, back to normal and sets the stage for a happy ending. Taking away the effects of the love potions, adds to the confusion the characters are experiencing of, "who loves who?" Shakespeare takes his talent of writing poetry, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, to show the audience how love can be very difficult and confusing.
