“I would not wish any companion in the world but you; Nor can imagination form a shape, besides yourself, to like of.”(III, i, 54-57)
Miranda is taken by Ferdinand when she first sees him because he is the only other man she has ever seen besides her father. She then falls in love within five minutes of knowing him and says “I would not wish any companion in the world but you; Nor can imagination form a shape, besides yourself, to like of.”(III, i, 54-57), which means that she sees herself with no one else but him. She thinks she is in love with him, but it is only because she is so fascinated by him. Miranda might have said this out of excitement or out of the fear of losing the only man that she could possibly be in love with. When Miranda says that she cannot imagine anyone else that she could be in love with is because she has not even seen another man besides her father. I believe that this love will not last forever because Miranda will eventually either run into another man or get off of the island. It seems as if they only are acting like they are in crazy love is because they want someone to be with when they are lonely, also Ferdinand is taken by her beauty. Overall, this Act was based on Miranda and Ferdinand's love for each other or the drunken men who were acting very strange.
