1. The "reality" tv show Parental Control is a real life example to the play so far. Parental Control is a show where the parents of a child that has an intolerable boyfriend/girlfriend pick a candidate each that they feel would suit their son/daughter well, and in high hopes will make a good enough impression on their child, that the son/daughter will dump their boyfriend/girlfriend for one of the others. This is like the novel because Egeus has a man that he wants Hermia to love and marry, Demetrius. However, Hermia sees Demetrius as a man with little moral and loathes him, and instead loves Lysander, whom her father hates. But sometimes, on Parental Control, the son/daughter chooses to stay with their loved one, as does Hermia.
2. Another example is the Disney Movie Aladdin. Princess Jazmin needs to marry a prince before her next birthday, but none of the suitors are good enough for her, so her father is tempted to just pick one for her, and it is against the law for her to marry the man she actually loves. this is like the play because Egeus wants Hermia to marry the man he chose, but she does not love him, and it would be against the law for her to marry the man she does love, Lysander.
