GR: The course of true love... Written by Barbara (8/27/2003 5:18 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: And I was thinking..., penned by Kristen G.

...never did run smooth!

So quick bright things come to confusion.

There are so many lines and situations from this play that can apply to this story!

] ...that Willoughby is like Demetrius to Marianne's Helena: IIRC, D wooed Helena only to change his mind and want Hermia. And Marianne/Helena doesn't take this news calmly and rationally; both are willing to risk their reputation to try to get their man back.

The whole mis-matched lovers theme and people wanting the wrong person runs all through this story. Much of this could equally be applied to the Elinor/Edward/Lucy triangle as well.
