In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare decided to include multiple plays within the play. I would say that adding a play within a play shows the artist creativity and shows that there is more than one way of describing what is meant. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Theseus is preparing to become married to Hippolyta. This play in fact has so much relevance to love, that the other plays within this one are also about love. The other plays were used to reiterate the main theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Doing this gives the audience a chance to gather information and question the nature and creativity of love. It begins with Theseus and Hippolyta planning their upcoming wedding, moves to the younger Athenian lovers who are confused about what they truly want and ends with a ton of Mechanicals who are performing at Theseus and Hippolyta’s spectacular wedding
With Shakespeare, you’re never sure what to expect, but I find that this is quite like his other work, such as Romeo and Juliet. In as Midsummer Night’s Dream you have three sets of characters. In Act V of a Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare added more to his play to basically conclude all loose ends or in other words help the audience get a better understanding of the entire play. …show more content…
All the plays worked together effortlessly and flowed naturally.
Each played had a different meaning, yet they all had a similar theme of love. You were shown the dangers of being love blind. I would say this play shows a major significance to reality when it comes to love. In life love can be happy or sad and another list of emotions. You can have the perfect ending to your love story or it can end tragically. A Midsummer Night’s Dream shows us how the pursuit of love can leave us making irrational and dumb decisions. We are shown young lovers falling in and out of love and making long-term decisions based of what they think they
feel.
This is a classic comedy, beginning in Athens. This play includes tons of plot twist and even some expected endings if you’re a fan of Shakespeare. The tone of this goes from funny to being sort of dark. It evolves and shows the audience the sense of humor that Shakespeare had when creating these plays. He able to involve his audience and show them the similarities between being creative and showing the true nature of love. This technique excels because the plots of each small play within a major play shows the different scenarios of what could possibly happen when finding love or even playing with love.
In conclusion, I think this was an amazing way to broadcast talent, it helped me understand the maybes and what could have happened. It opens your eyes and makes you think about things in not only one but multiple perspectives. Love can be hard for some and it can be easy for others. Some can fall in love without being forced into something. Shakespeare showed us that it is not always going to be the same for everyone.
