Who's Love Was More Pure?

    Love seems to always cause a problem in the plays of Shakespeare and these two are very similar but also very different. Of course talking about Romeo&Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. In each of these plays love is a very powerful thing that puts all main characters in a bit of trouble. The two main characters in each are young boys in fall in love Romeo and Lysander the women they love seems to always keep them in balance, but they both do things very different. It is argued that the characters got what they really deserved and that the ending of each book should be reversed. Who really got what they deserved Juliet and her dear Romeo or Lysander and his Hermia?
    Lysander is a young noblemen of Athens. He is in love with his Hermia, but his love for her is forbidden. It is forbidden by Hermia's father who thinks she should marry someone of higher class. Lysander thinking that love can conquer any obstacle persuades Hermia to leave everything they have in Athens and run into the forest. Lysander and Hermia could not have been happier they felt like nothing could ruin their fun.
    Romeo and Lysander make grave mistakes, because of love. They are similar in many different ways they are both completely blinded by love and would do anything for the love of their life. One is a lot more blind then the other in the two plays. Love is the over all conqueror in both plays it makes both character do crazy things they would not do, if not in love. There were also many major differences Romeo seemed to be a character who jumped around with the girl he loved. Lysander on the other hand was true to Hermia only did not love her when he was forced not to by the fairy Robin. Romeo and Juliet just seemed like something greater then them did not want them together, but it seemed like Lysander and Hermia were wanted to be together with the father of Hermia of course, it seemed like greater forces wanted them to be together.
    In both stories the outcomes of each of the characters are completely different. Anyone who read both could easily tell. Romeo and Juliet can only be together in the afterlife this is why they had to die together. Nobody in the living world wanted them together and they had to take their lives. Completely opposite of them are Lysander and Hermia they are in very true love and they run away together the only one wanting them to be apart is Hermia's father. The only reason they have a problem is a fairy sprinkles a love juice on the sleeping eyes of Lysander and he simply sees the wrong girl first, but by the end Hermia and Lysander are happily together. It's argued who got what they deserve, but it is obvious Lysander and Hermia truly got what they deserved.
    Who really got what they deserved Lysander and Hermia or Juliet and her dear Romeo? It is very much argued on who got what, but Hermia and Lysander deserved the happy ending. Romeo was simply blind by love and did not know what was going on. Lysander was never blind only looking the wrong direction of things. The greater good pushed Lysander's eyes back to his Hermia. Which proves that the ones who belong together are Lysander and Hermia. Romeo and Juliet were meant to be in another life not this one.
