2-5-FAMILY CONFLICTS IN LOVE
AFFAIRS THROUGH MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM'S BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
William Shakespeare in midsummernight has raised the
same problem that happened in Romeo and Juliet. It put as an example
of two couples who wanted to marry themselves. But this hasn't been the case.
In this novel, Theseus and Hippolyta were planning their wedding
festival when one of the Theseus's subjects Eugeus arrive seeking his support
and was wanted his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, but arguing that another
man Lysander's has stolen his hurt. Hermia his daughter didn't want to marry
the one whom her father has chosen for her.
It's at that time Theseus reminds her the cost of
disobedience according to Athenian law dictate if Hermia disobeys her father,
she will be a turn than marry Demetrius and ask her final decision before his
wedding in four days. Afterwards, Hermia and her lover Lysander after deciding
what they are going to do run away the next night. We can talk here about
conflict in the extent where Hermia father was telling her to marry Demetrius
and she was refusing what her father said .As there is a misunderstanding
between them the conflict is already set up. And this should not be the case
(this is what we call forced marriage). Her father should not do it like that,
he could call her firstly and discuss with her in order to have her point of
view. But he wanted to do it according to Athenians' law and then she broke
from home with the one she wanted. As we can see while talking about conflict
and love the notion of hate always occurs seen that love and hate still go
together.
2-6-FAMILY CONFLICTS IN LOVE
AFFAIRS THROUGH THISBE AND PYRAMUS BY Theophile DE VIAU
Theophile de Viau has illustrated the same scenario which
happened in Romeo and Juliet, the ghosts of Brazil And this
novel, is talking about Thisbe and Pyramus.
In this novel there are conflicts lived by the main characters
and this as we can notice through the following brief explanation. Thisbe loves
Pyramus but the hatred of their families prevents their relationship from
appearing in the day. His mummy Bersiane tries to reason. The father of
Pyramus. Nabal judge that this love is madness, but his adviser Lidias tries to
make him understand that it is a love of unconditional youth. Meanwhile, the
king confided to Syllar that he was ready to assassinate Pyramus to obtain the
love of Theseus, of which he is in vain. In Act 2, Pyramus assures the purity
of his love to his friend Disarque, then he joined Thisbe and talk with her
departure and other of the wall adjoining their houses. In act 3, Syllar
convinces Deuxis to obey the king and assassinate Pyramus. This one dying and
repentant warns his murderer against the king. Pyramus then decides to escape.
The king learns the failure of the assassination and resolves to kill Thisbe
and his lovers if he cannot 'to have.
In Act 4, Pyramus and Thisbe agree to flee together during
this time, the case of Thisbe tells her confidante the bad omens of a dream
that she did when she saw her dead daughter reproach her with her fate of no
longer opposing this. She arrives at the appointment place. She sees a lion
hiding, and drops her veil. In act 4 Pyramus arrives and perceiving the veil in
the midst of the footsteps of the lion he believes that he is dead. He commits
suicide with his dagger. This be arrives and observes the death of his lover
stabs himself and dies too. This is a brief summary to better understand what
happened in this novel. The opposition of families to the Union of their son
and daughter led to their suicide. From this, I think that it is not good to
impose on our children those whom they must marry because this can lead to
negative consequences on their lives.
Theophile de Viau in his era has analyzed and has judged
important to raise this problem so that this is not observable and
continual.
