Chapter 5 act 5 scene 1
Chapter 5 act 5 scene 1
Theseus thinks the strange stories of these lovers are the ramblings of young passion: they are romantics with overactive imaginations,
More strange than true. I never may believe
These antique fables nor these fairy toys.
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends. act 5 sc 1
This sounds like the pragmatic and stubborn Theseus that we know.
