Shakespearean Stories

One movie that has to do with the love triangle topic that I've seen would be Princess Bride. There is a love triangle in this movie just like William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's dream. The princess is supposed to marry some guy but yet she is in love with another guy. I think the creators of this movie involved Shakespeare into this movie by having the princess supposed to marry someone but she is in love with another guy. I A Midsummer Night's Dream Hermia is supposed to marry Demetrius but she is in love with Lysander who loves her back.

This movie also has the part about teen angst because the princess's father wants her to marry someone else that she doesn't love and she doesn't think it's fair. That also happens in A Midsummer Night's Dream because Hermia doesn't think it's fair that her father gets to decide who she marries even if she's not in love with them.
