Sacrifice In A Midsummer Night's Dream

The long-lasting hunt for love Love, doing anything for someone no matter what they do or how much they hurt one, even if it means sacrificing time, money and even getting hurt. How much is one willing to sacrifice for another? In the book, A Midsummer Night's Dream, throughout the story these fictional characters (Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, Helena, Titania, and Oberon) do anything in their power to gain or keep a relationship.

Without a doubt, Hermia would do anything for love even if it means that she has to sacrifice things for herself. For example, Hermia stated, “So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord, Ere I will yield my virgin patent up unto his lordship whose unwished yoke my soul consents not to give sovereignty.” (I, i, 78-82). The reader can clearly see Hermia is willing to be a virgin in order to be with Lysander. This is a perfect example of Hermia sacrificing things to be with the special person she loves, Lysander.

For Example, Oberon states, “Having once this juice I’ll watch Titania when she is asleep and drop the liquor of it in her eyes. The next thing then she, waking, looks upon...she shall pursue it with the soul of love and ere I take this charm from off her sight… I’ll make her ender up her page to me.” (II, i, 77-87) analysis and restatement! I know that love in the book, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and in the real world (in general) is hard. We argue, fight and hate but in the end we learn to forgive and love. For example, Oberon states, “sound music. Come, my queen, take hands with me, and rock the ground whereon these sleepers be…(Titania says) “come, my lord, and in our flight tell me how it came this night that I sleeping here was found with these mortals on the ground.” (IV, i, 83-99) analysis and
