Explore these quotations from the introduction to A Midsummer Night's Dream:
Midsummer is "a play about love . . . love is a dream, or perhaps a vision; that is absurd, irrational, a delusion . . . that is doomed to be momentary" (182).
The play explores "the power of infatuation to transform the image of the beloved in the lover's eye" (xiv).
On a page in your notebook, create a tree map to collect direct quotations and details from the play that illustrate the love topics of patience, infatuation, and game playing (manipulation). The tree map will come in handy on finals day for the essay portion of the finals.
