Many novels are so successful that producers can’t wait to adapt the story into a film. However‚ it is all up to the director who controls how to present it on screen. The movie may be closely similar or far different to the presentation of the book‚ the effectiveness of each may differ. After exploring the novel “Class Action”‚ by Clara Bingham‚ and the screenplay which was inspired by it “North Country”‚ the novel seems to be more effective as it helps the audience understand the storyline.

In the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ a quote said by Bottom states that‚ “to say the truth‚ reason and love keep little company together nowadays.” I believe that is is a very important part of the theme of the entire play and can be tied in with the contrast between the Athenian court and the wilderness. The Athenian court in the play is what can be compared to logic and reason. It is to be taken very seriously which is shown in the play in Act 1 when Hermia is given the choices of marrying

In Shakespeare’s play‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ I learned that relationships are tested in situations with drastic outcomes. For example‚ a scene occurs where Egeus is angry at his daughter Hermia for wanting to marry someone without his consent (22). Egeus then threatens to kill Hermia if she didn’t marry Demetrius‚ the man he gave his consent to.

He uses symbolism and imagery to develop the motif and makes extensive use of the night forest which‚ in part‚ helps the situation of the four young lovers‚ one of the main plots of the play. It might seem strange that Shakespeare would

The course of true love never did run smooth‚ especially for the characters of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In one of Shakespeare’s most memorable plays‚ the narrative tells us that love‚ no matter how strong‚ will never be perfect.
