Given the previous behaviour of these couples, it is not likely that the new found order in Act 4 will survive.
"Given the previous behaviour of these couples, it is not likely that the new found order in Act 4 will survive. Their present harmony is, at best, a fleeting vision; their transformation is doomed to failure because these characters are incapable of sustaining a long-term loving relationship such as that suggested in St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians."
Examine the quotation from St. Paul located in the opening section of the content page for this activity. For centuries, at countless weddings, this passage has defined the Christian interpretation of a lasting, loving relationship. Based on their past behaviour, how likely is it that the "new found amity" established in Act IV will last in any truly loving way? Will they be able to move beyond the jealousy and power struggles that existed before their transformation?
To evaluate the above critical comment you must decide on the future prospects of the relationships in this play. Your response will focus on whether or not these recently restored relationships can actually survive - and be transformed into truly loving relationships as described by St. Paul -- based on the previous behaviour of these characters.
To evaluate the truth of the above statement, examine the previous behaviour of:
1) the two Athenian couples
2) either Theseus and Hippolyta or Oberon and Titania.
Prepare a 500 word argumentative piece / essay in which you defend your position. Make sure to include references to key pieces of evidence throughout the play up until the end of Act 4. You may refer to the content page to review St. Paul's definition of a loving, lasting relationship as written in his first letter to the Corinthians.
