Willian Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has a reoccurring theme of blind love. This theme of blind love can be seen through Helena’s monologue. The idea of blind love in the play is shown through Helena’s monologue when she states that “So I, admiring of his qualities: Things base and vile qualities” (1.1.).
