In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the characters all have an opportunity to reveal the varied and peculiar faces of love - in all of these portrayals of love, Shakespeare invariably situates a perfect contradiction. In doing this, "love" is revealed as more ridiculous than romantic, and the faces of love in this play are often unrecognizable. This paper reads this play in an effort to reveal the many faces of love that are shown by Shakespeare. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
