Act I Artistic Rendering

This sculpture is of a love triangle which is prevalent thorughout the play. In the sculpture, we could see the hugging couple as Hermia and Lysander- happy to be together, and the man on the ground Demetrius, who is biting the young woman's ankles to keep ahold of her and wrapping his legs around the other young man's in an effort to try to push him away. This love triangle is the basis of the play, which therefor makes this picture signifcant to the play.
