Reply for ACT IV:

> imagery of spring, fitting with when the play takes place and with the lunar/solar theme in connection to love.

I think this is spot on. It also ties back to how the Fairy King and Queen’s conflict was causing the seasons to be messed up. With the dissolution of Demetrius’s love for Hermia, we also have the “correct” seasons back

When Demetrius says

>But like a sickness did I loathe this food.

it reminded me of when Helena was saying she wished that Hermia’s looks could be contagious, so that she could catch them too and thereby catch Demetrius
