Although true love is appreciated when achieved, its rarity can be attributed to the multitude of obstacles lovers face. Couples often have difficulty expressing their love for each other or may face challenges within marriages. Whether it's disagreements, affection for your surroundings, lost friendships or jealousy, the search for true love has its consequences. This concept is expressed several times in A Midsummer Night's Dream, in the cases of many lovers. However, it can be argued that despite the complications that come with it, true love is worth a lifetime of problems. In Hermia and Lysander's struggles to find a place where they can freely express their true love, it is evident that the course of something so slim as true love always comes with obstacles. Lysander says: “So what, my love? Why is your cheek so pale? / How can the roses there wither so quickly?" (1.1.130-131), showing that he and Hermia form a faithful couple who truly show their adoration for each other. However, Hermia's father Aegeus refuses to allow these two lovers to marry. This is the conflict that Hermia faces: to disobey her father (and Athenian law), or to respect her father's will and allow this "edict in destiny" to go undone." Oh hell, to choose love through another's eyes!" (1.1.142), Hermia decides. Hermia chooses to follow the path led by her true love rather than do what her father insists. In this example, the complications manifest themselves in problems with true love. Furthermore, Titania and Oberon also have difficulty maintaining the course of their true love. A long-time couple, the fairy king and queen also face the complications that true love brings from time to time in turn: “Ever true in loving, / and the stains of Nature's hand” (5.1.425-426...... middle of the card ......and begotten because of the blindness of those who are under the effects of love. There are many complications that can be attributed to true love. These complications affect not only lovers but also the nature around them. Some of these complications include jealousy and misjudgments. All these obstacles support the fact that the course of true love never runs smoothly. While true love is appreciated, there are definitely obstacles and impediments that come with it In A Midsummer Night's Dream, everyone was afforded the joys of true love, but also endured the complications that came with it. Each of them could testify that the course of true love has never gone and will never be smooth. Works Cited Shakespeare,. William. A Midsummer Night's Dream. Ed. Barbara A. Mowat and Paul Werstine.
