When your staring death in the face, I feel like you need to find some way to survive as any means necessary. Rezendes stated in the ninth paragraph that if she kept shivering she knew she was going to be okay even though hypothermia plays a big factor. I love how she did not give up on herself. When you set your mind to something, in this case which is “survive” and reach the road. Once that registers in your mind you will be fine and she was.…
She couldn’t think of the graceful woman before her feeling like she was describing. Then again, she couldn’t picture a lot of things six years ago. “They gave me a fork with my meals,” She started again. Her voice was emotionless and her eyes stared out at nothing. “I had to get out. I had to. The guard on duty came in the cell to gather my tray. I had left it on the bed beside me. He was just older than me, I almost felt guilty for what I was about to do. He grasped my chin in hand and made me look at him. He told me I was a pretty little thing even if I was a filthy mess. He wanted a kiss. He went down close enough to me and I jammed the fork deep in his neck, cutting through a majority artery. Then I…
I am Kaitlyn Luepann and I am portraying the fairy attendants Peaseblossom, Bottom, Cobweb, and the “jester fairy” Puck From William Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” I will be portraying all these characters as one character with characteristics of all four. The ways I am going to adapt the characters that I am portraying are for me to have a witty sense of humour, yet have common courtesy and manners, and have respectful body language and a humourous tone of voice because the three fairy attendants are very respectful, but Puck is humourous. How I adapt all of the fairies body language and tone of voice from the play to the modern day is to be a respectful Starbucks worker, who cracks jokes in a funny manner while customers…

“If we wanted to think about the device in psychological terms, we could see the nested worlds, and double characters as representing the conscious (Theseus and the court), the unconscious (Oberon and the fairies), and the world of art, dream, and fantasy (Peter Quince and the “actors”; “Bottom’s Dream”) that mediates between them.” – Marjorie Garber, Shakespeare After All, 221-222…
People of the twenty first century do not understand the real meaning of love. Men and women want love for the same reason today as they did in the sixteenth century. In William Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” he proves how people use love for the wrong reasons such as forced love, parental love, and romantic love.…
“That’s the way of the world… for every man that is faithful to his true love, a million end up running after a different lover.” (pg. 91) Shakespeare uses the comedy of Midsummer’s Night Dream to show the many complexities of love. For example, Egeus wants his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, but she is in love with Lysander and him with her. Meanwhile Helena is in love with Demetrius, who obviously does not feel the same about her. Even the play that the rude mechanicals put on for Theseus is based around the humor and complexities of love.…
A Midsummer Night Dream is a play written by the late William Shakespeare. This play is about a love triangle how one loves the other when the other does not like them until finally it all ends in a resolution, as they have a secret fairy world looking over at them, this play is almost like a mix between the fantasy world and the real! Bottom is one of the characters in this play, and in this play Bottom is a humorous and confident character, although being intelligent in other fields Bottom is not a very clever or educated man. Bottom and his fellow workmates are named the “rude mechanicals”, unsophisticated men but rather great tradesmen, working not with the mind but with the hands, though Bottom may be labeled a “rude mechanical” in many…
The narrator’s inner monologue reveals his misery despite his attempts to brush over it with drugs, alcohol, and sex. “[A]ny beautiful girl, especially one with a full head of hair, would help you stave off this creeping sense of mortality” (McInerney137). The narrator is using superficial pleasure to fill a void, but he admits that his methods only achieve a temporary end. The unusual narrative style allows the reader to understand this secret realization before the narrator himself does and to anticipate his struggle as the evening progresses: “Go home. Cut your losses.…
What is the significance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream beginning with a conversation between Theseus and Hippolyta? Shakespeare could have not started the play with the King and Queen, but rather with Hermia and Egeus’s dispute over her future marriage. The reason Shakespeare did not chose to do that was because Theseus and Hippolyta foreshadow the outcomes of the bonds between Hermia and :Lysander.…
As Lysander says, "The course of true love never did run smooth." Love in A Midsummer Night's Dream is portrayed as complicated and difficult, yet Shakespeare does it in a way that is humorous and lighthearted. In this play love often brings out the worst in people, yet in the end it's what brings everyone back together. Love has the ability to spellbind people as Shakespeare represents symbolically through Puck's actions, and we see how intensely complicated it can be when it nearly tears apart Hermia's family and causes argument between the four main human characters. The four types of love, forced love, parental love, romantic love and complicated love permeate all aspects of life in this play and we see the awesome power it has over human emotion, psychology, and behavior.…
Since his first published work in the early sixteenth-century, William Shakespeare has become known as one of the greatest writers in history (Mabillard). Many of his plays and poems are considered to be some of the classics of early literature. One of his renowned plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has grown from its wildly popular play into a classic movie produced in 1999 (“A Midsummer”). The movie, based on the themes and events of the play, involves a complicated love square. While the movie followed closely to the play, a few minor differences were present, e.g., the number of characters having sex in the movie and a few other minimal Hollywood additions. Despite these few differences, the movie represented the play beautifully.…
Analysis in A Midsummer Night's Dream “O, I am out of breath in this fond chase!” (Act 2 vs.81)…
An earlier play entitled, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, by William Shakespeare, is a comedy outlining the destinies of two bothered couples.

The conflict is, Hermia’s father is against the marriage of the two and insists upon marriage with a man named Demetrius. However, the already complicated situation becomes more complex when Hermia discovers that Helena, a deep-rooted friend, is in love with Demetrius. My initial interest of the play arose during the introduction of this conflict.…
