Love, or what is more commonly known as love, can take hold in an instant and feel much like magic that is being put over you. Love is a feeling that cannot be explained. It can make you do things that you would never of done and makes you feel like your flying. It hits you without you knowing that it's going to happen and there is nothing you can do to stop it. “All you need is love” the Beatles proclaim in one of their popular songs. In Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of the main reoccurring themes is love. One of the kinds of love that is really not love but many people mistake it as is obsession or commonly known as lust. This isn't being in love with the other person but in love with one of there characteristics. This can be shown with the relationship between Demetrius and Hermia. Demetrius only wants Hermia for the chase and not for who she is. Another type of love that can be presented is an unrequited relationship.
