“To you, your father should be as a god.”

Not to question his lordship Theseus, king of Athens, but I most humbly disagree. He said this to the reluctant Hermia who insists, to her father's great dismay, on marrying a man he doth not approve. Like most rebellious teenagers, or star crossed lovers, Hermia and Lysander are determined to find a way that they may ride off together into the sunset while Egeus suffers a mental breakdown. I am quite sure that many of us at one time or another have caused mommy and daddy to die a little inside because of our choices. But in the end I think parents learn to love and accept us, because we get to choose their nursing home.
