    Shakespeare presents the love between Hermia and Lysander to be strong and true, as evidenced by Hermia swearing by "Cupid's strongest bow" that she will be honest to Lysander and run away to marry him. The imagery of Cupid links their love to traditional notions of love sanctioned by the cherub of love. Additionally, the use of the superlative "strongest" emphasizes how their love is resilient and will last despite Hermia's father's objections. Shakespeare portrays their love as strong to elicit sympathy from the audience for their decision to run away together in the face of Hermia's forced marriage to Demetrius.

    In the PETAL paragraph below, highlight the Point, Evidence,


    Technique, Analysis and Link in different colours.

    Shakespeare presents the love between Hermia and Lysander to be strong


    and true. For example, “I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow,”
    Shakespeare has used imagery to describe how strong their love is. This
    suggests that Hermia is swearing she will be honest to Lysander and that
    she will run away to marry him. The imagery of ‘Cupid’ links to the cherub of
    love and therefore highlights how their love is legitimate and traditional. Also,
    the use of the superlative ‘strongest’ emphasises how their love is resilient
    and suggests that, despite her father’s objections, it will last. Shakespeare
    has chosen to present their love as strong to make an audience feel
    sympathy for them, as Hermia’s father is trying to make her marry Demetrius.
    This use of imagery convinces an audience that their love is worth ghting
    for and therefore we support their decision to run away.
