In MND Shakespeare illustrates what can happen when various kinds of love conflict or compete with eros (romantic love).For instance, even though Hermia and Helena appear to have been friends all their lives (phileo or friendship love), in the middle of the play they are angry at each other because both Demetrius and Lysander love Helena. Write an essay in which you explore what Shakespeare seems to be saying about the relative power of romantic love (eros) over one of the other three kinds of love (phileo, storge or affectionate love, and agape or unconditional love) displayed in the play.
