Shakespear's stories.

In the movie She's the Man there is a mistaken identity and a love triangle. This girl wants to play soccer and so she goes to a college that only has a boys soccer team. She changes everything about her, her hair, voice, look and style to pretend to be her brother so she can play. She ends up falling in love with one of the guys on the soccer team/room mate and he is in love with her sister which in really her. There are also many other love triangle in between these.

I think this plot realates to Shakespear's A Midsummer Night's Dream because both of the guys love Hermia and not Helena but Helena still loves Demetrius. Then after a confusing path everything works out how it should be, everyone of them loving the right person. It ends the same way as She's the Man because the girls finally revels that she is not a guy and then the guy that she loves falls in love with her back.

Good job. I agree, the way you described She's the Man told me a lot about how it relates to Shakespeare's stories. In detail, it does relate to a Midsummer Night's Dream as you said.
