In the comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream, the plethora of comic styles used by Shakespeare illustrate his intention to mock love throughout the play. The play is known for its complex and irrational plot, mainly due to the ever-changing love triangles. Once the powerful fairies become involved in the fate of the naive lovers – Demetrius, Helena, Lysander and Hermia – things get even more complicated. The complication inflicted by the fairies is attributed to the powerful love potion that Oberon, king of the fairies, gives to Puck, a mischievous fairy, to use on his wife Titania, with the intention of embarrassing and distract. This malicious attitude is due to the dispute between Oberon and Titania over the custody of an Indian boy. It’s this argument that ends up affecting everyone and turning everything upside down. This conspiratorial plan, intended as a diversion, ends up affecting more than just Titania, but rather the play's three distinctive groups: the lovers, the fairies, and the clockworks. This comedic journey of confusing love stories is not all slapstick comedy, but also crucial lessons about love. The comedic styles of farce and irony appear frequently throughout the play, strengthening the play both comically and morally. A character's unconsciousness displayed with dramatic irony shows how blind love truly is. The randomness of the farce shows how love really has no reason and is very confusing, like the play itself. Farce and dramatic irony both serve as vehicles to illustrate the absurd, uncontrollable, and illogical realities of love.
