In A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, he put a twist on it. It was post to be a comedy but it’s a mix of both comedy and a love story. Love is something that’s hard to explain because love is hard to find, but when you do it’s always something that tries to get in the way of you being happy because love is a tricky thing. Some people make love seem all fun and easy to be in but when they get in love themselves, they can see the heartache and plain they got to go through.

Her not wanting to marry Demetrius didn’t sit well with Egeus that he demanded she be punish by law for not obeying his word. Thesus then went to her in said she will be sent to nunnery or put to death for not wanting to marry him. Lysander had then made it seem that Demetrius is not telling the truth about being in love with Hermia because he was once engaged to her friend Helena. Which was a smart thing to being that up at that time because they was talking about putting her to death for not marrying him.
When Thesus, Egeus, and Demetrius had left the room. Lysander came up with a plan for them to run away together in go live with his aunt, who lives seven leagues away. They would be from Athenian, so they can be married and finally be happy. Hermia was so happy about his plan that she agree to go through with it. She can be with the man that she really loves and want to be. They had told Helena about their plan to leave, who was still in love with Demetrius thought if she was to tell him about it, he was going to follow them in the wood to stop
