In A Midsummer Night's Dream, I read how Shakespeare distinguished the creation of love is displayed as a dream-like and enchanting element in romance, by using on imagination, but contrasting it to truth and reason. This is a comparison between the book and the play. Shakespeare's motivation in creating types of fantasy-like love stories helps define and create a type of art in its own form.
Shakespeare's character, Theseus, has a character of only wanting to possess the truth and facts of life. Theseus possesses a kind of characteristic where if there is no fact or type of reason behind a certain quality of something, it cannot be proven to be placed in reality. Imagination and love, for example, plays a significant role in the acts of the play, whereas the book conveys the two dimensions of the Athens' representation of facts and the woods representing love and imagination. Theseus does not wish to possess or encounter any relinquishment of the woods with dreaming of romantic love. In Theseus' perspective, I realized how love relationships could not possibly be a type of fact or truth. It may convey sense of feelings and emotions, but it doesn't necessarily needed to become a case to be proven or solved. I think it is mainly based on how someone interprets in "imagining" love and going forth in a romantic relationship. Facts and reasons are needed to prove or be proven in life, but can just plainly be the basics in life, where Theseus has lived up to. I think love is just an interpretation of one's view and beliefs of how romance should be seen as. I realized that everyone, even Theseus himself, has their opportunity in finding, experiencing, or creating love in their own art form or even from their facts and reasons. Art and proven facts in life can still be familiar or combined in one's experience in his existence.
