"More strange than true." -Theseus, 5.1.2
Is love strange, or is love true? Write a one-paragraph argument that conveys your agreement or
disagreement with Theseus's statement. Write for an audience that has studied and read the play as
you have. Use text evidence from the play to support your claim, and distinguish your claim from
Theseus's. Remember to support your claim with reasons, evidence, and elaboration. Finally, write
a concluding statement that sums up your argument. In addition, style your response in a formal
tone—you are writing in response to the duke, after all!
