Explore Shakespeare's representation of love in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

A whole range of character relationships and moments from the play able to be discussed here. One method of streamlining a discussion would be to dedicate one or two paragraphs to the more 'negative' moments of love - such as the relationship between love and deceit when considering Titania and Bottom, and the politics of love at the play's opening in the arranged marriage between Hermia and Demetrius. The rest of the essay would ideally focus on any of the more 'positive' moments: such as Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding at the play's close, Titania and Oberon reuniting and restoring harmony to the fairy kingdom, Helena finally being loved by Demetrius, and the message of love conquering all.
