Traits Of Puck
5. The most important trait of the main character Puck is that although he is a mischievous character, he is something that reminds us that he is not human. Puck never intends to apologize to the four lovers for for his tomfoolery and even when the king confronts him he says, "However, I am not sorry this has happened, for I think their jangling makes excellent sport.". This tell us that even though Puck is fairy it does not mean he has human values like guilt or mercy. This to me is the most important trait do to the statement it makes about foreign influences in our life with out consent, and in this cause the trouble the four lovers go through.
6. The setting of the work mostly take place within the wood a few miles outside of their city,
as there is a law that restricts them from marrying in the city itself. However in the begging of the play it does take place where the duke, Theseus, is sitting as Egeus demands justice against his own daughter for not obeying his orders. Then when the setting changes to the wood there is two places to describes, the place where the four lovers wander and the land of the fairies. The king and queen live in the forest with their subjects and it seem as though they live in a separate plane of existence on top of the lover's plane. We can infer from this because they are all invisible to the humans and if they choose to they can be seen (The donkey-man and his hand servants).
7. The author has chosen to emphasize certain detail of the setting so that it would correlate with the action and happenings within the story itself. For example when the four lovers run into the wood with out the key descriptions of the wood, we would never know how far the four go form each other. We also would know where the fairies are located and where the queen goes when away from her husband. Location is a important factor in this play because it also a large part of the Athenian law in their city as it says in the beginning, "(this law not extending beyond the boundaries of the city)". Thus Lysander will meet Hermia a few miles out of the city where the woods are, making the details all the more important.
