Just something I was thinking about. At the end of Midsummer Night’s Dream, Demetrius is the only one still under the effects of Oberon’s love potion, and everybody seems ok with it. I’m thinking, is that because we’re supposed to think of him as the villain? That he somehow got what was coming to him and that everything worked out for the good guys, so screw him? Got a little bit of a Shylock feel to it, really. The light version.
Can't say that I've ever been "ok" with him still under the potion at the end.
