At first, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” seems to be talking about romantic love and happy endings; the four lovers after comic trials and self-awareness journeys form loving couples. Helena’s “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind” is one of the most famous quotes, often used to talk about a more “elevated” kind of love, that doesn’t care about physical appearance but inner, intellectual world. However, with a closer look, one finds out that the love described in the play is not “elevated” at all; it is rather faulty. To better explain this view, I will use the example of Hermia and Lysander as a couple.
