The Story Behind the Shape

Her fortune stalls in a state of distressing confusion (→) when sudden, spell-induced affections lead her to believe it's all a cruel prank. Escaping the chaotic fight under a magically darkened night, she falls asleep exhausted, but a dramatic reversal awaits (↑↑↑); the duke awakens the young lovers, Demetrius declares his true love, and she joyfully weds.
