Jordan Castle Period 1 3/22/13 Word Count: 313 In the Shakespearian story, A Midsummer Night?s Dream, a relationship between love and reason is seen between various characters. When Shakespeare talks about the interplay of love and reason, he is saying that a person can be controlled totally by love and by reasoning but at times, one wins over the other. In the story, a character that is ruled by love is Lysander. In the beginning of the story, Lysander is in love with Hermia, but as soon as Puck puts him under a love spell, Lysander professes his love for Helena. Lysander is completely driven by love and does not take reason into account. Lysander says on page 29, Content with Hermia? No; I do repent The tedious minutes I have with her have spent. Not Hermia, but Helena I love.
