A_Midsummer_Nights_Dream

A Midsummer Nights Dream In the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream love was a main concept. However, in order for the emotions of love to take their place, there is a need of power to generate it. Only through power is love really made evident. The power of authority, the power to transform perceptions and the power of infatuation and romantic desire all contribute to the theme of love. Almost every character possessed a unique power that led way for much desire. Authority, magic, and complete emotion all were driving forces in contributing to the role of power. Power was not only exemplified through authority, but was shown in many different aspects. Here we will take a look at the authoritative aspects along with the powers of perception and desire. The concept of authoritative power was surfaced quite early in the play. From here we were introduced to the relationship between Thesius and Hippolyta. In the play, the supreme ruler of Athens, Thesius ends up marring Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. However, during the whole play, Hippolyta never throughly discusses her feeling and ideas about her recent marriage.
