    Everyone has had that moment when they blame one person or character for the problem or conflict‚ correct? The same can be said for the plot of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. The entire plot of the play is mostly Puck (the Fairy King Oberon’s servant)’s fault. First and foremost‚ Puck messed up! He was instructed to put the love juice in Demetrius’s eyes by Oberon‚ but accidentally put it in Lysander’s eyes. According to the play‚ Puck said‚ “[he sees Lysander] Who is this? Clothing

    Personally‚ I prefer the original play of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” only slightly more than the film adaption that was recreated in the late 1990’s. Not only had William Shakespeare managed to fully grasp the meaning of true love‚ but had also comprehended the dark times that came alongside such an influential and overpowering emotion. Although the movie had effectively and humorously portrayed the problems that were brewing amongst the fairies‚ workers‚ and lovers‚ it still missed the raw‚ poetic

    The three movie adaptations of A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ from 1935‚ 1968‚ and 1999‚ are all unique‚ despite showing the same scene‚ the introduction to the fairy world. The 1968 version‚ which was directed by Peter Hall‚ is not remastered‚ which makes the quality very poor. The 1935 version seems more like a ballet than a movie‚ and utilizes Felix Mendelssohn’s Overture and Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. However‚ the best adaptation is the one from 1999‚ for not only does it have

    In A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ Shakespeare questions the reality of the audience through pagan elements and subjectivity. He also disobeys the Great Chain of Being by subtly questioning God. When Shakespeare was writing A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ coarse ideas weren’t allowed. He uses the fairies and as a way to question God. Using the fairies’ magic powers‚ he makes the lovers fall for one another randomly. Shakespeare is establishing that love is random because he isn’t including what most people

    forming the series of misunderstandings featured in the plot of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play employs careful characterisation choices of lovers to act imprudently and alludes to symbolism through aesthetic devices which establish the theme of love. These aspects of the play are significant factors that enhance our understanding of the foolishness of lovers and the inconsistencies of their love‚ which develop in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

    As I had a slightly larger vocabulary range than I did when I was eight‚ I didn’t completely understand the text‚ but I could understand enough to know what a fantastic writer Shakespeare was. Even now‚ reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream in class‚ I don’t understand every single word written in the play but it’s blatantly clear to me why Shakespeare is studied in schools all across the world; Shakespeares is‚ and probably always will be‚ one of the greatest writers in
