  1. Complicated Love Taylor Lincoln Image from www.carpw.com

  2. Many of Shakespeare’s plays contained characters who face problems with love: • Romeo and Juliet • Hamlet and Ophelia • Lysander and Hermia & Demetrius and Helena Image from nimis540.wordpress.com/tag/love/

  3. Romeo & Juliet Problem: Romeo and Juliet fall in love despite their families’ ongoing feud. Eventually, they die in the name of love. “Romeo and Juliet are caught in a world that rips apart their souls in its assault against the only thing they think worth living for.” Image from taudiobook.com

  4. "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name.Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my loveAnd I'll no longer be a Capulet."- Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2 "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"- Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2 Images from teachwithmovies.com

  5. Hamlet Problem: Hamlet begins to treat Ophelia terribly after he sees the ghost of his father, but Ophelia clings to the memories she has with the old Hamlet. Even though her love for Hamlet is strong, she obeys her father and brother when they tell her not to see Hamlet again or accept any letters he writes to her. Image from www.geocities.com

  6. For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour,Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,A violet in the youth of primy nature,Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting,The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more. - Laertes, Act 1 Scene 3 I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,And recks not his own rede. -Ophelia, Act 1 Scene 3 Image from googleimages.com

  7. A Midsummer Night’s Dream Problem: Hermia’s father has forbidden her and Lysander to marry and Theseus has threatened Hermia with death if she disobeys her father. In addition, Demetrius and Lysander love Hermia, but Helena loves Demetrius. When Puck puts the love potion on the wrong Athenian’s eyes, Lysander falls in love with Helena, causing great drama between the four characters.

  8. To live a barren sister all your life,Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. -Theseus, Act 1 Scene 1 But earthlier happy is the rose distilledThan that which withering on the virgin thornGrows, lives, and dies in single blessedness. -Theseus, Act 1 Scene 1 Images from www.fotocache.com and www.elfwood.com

  9. Ay me, for aught that I could ever read,Could ever hear by tale or history,The course of true love never did run smooth...-Lysander, Act 1 scene 1 Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so.He will not know what all but he do know.And as he errs, doting on Hermia’s eyes,So I, admiring of his qualities.Things base and vile, holding no quantity,Love can transpose to form and dignity.Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. -Helena, Act 1 Scene Images from www.bookrags.com and www.aprilsoroko.com
