    personally not a big fan of Shakespeare although by reviewing the play A Midsummer night’s dream‚ I’m starting to like Shakespeare’s different ideas and how most of his writing and plays involve falling in love and such. This play is mostly about four couples falling in love with the wrong person because they were potioned by a magic fairy in a forest. The setting of this play mostly took place at a forest and the time was night when the play reached its climax. In the beginning of the play‚

One aspect of

    Good afternoon‚ I wanted to thank you for picking me for the role of Tatania in A Midsummer Night Dream; however‚ the image you betray her as‚ needs to improve. Tatania is a strong‚ independent woman – not the soft-spoken feeble girl. In act two‚ scene one‚ when Tatania and Oberon argue about who should have the ownership of the changeling boy‚ Tatania sticks to her opinions of having the boy “…Not for thy fairy kingdom. —Fairies‚ away! We shall chide downright‚ if I longer stay… ”. She threatens

    Unlike A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ each of the cross-dressing characters does so as the result of conscious decision (as opposed to magical influence) and in order to attain a goal. While there are certainly a number of disguises in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” there are different motivations for characters wearing them. For Viola‚ her reasons for dressing as a young man are clear since she wants to be able to make a living in the new land she has found herself inhabiting. Although it may be a bit

    A Midsummer Night’s Dream Novel Contrast A Midsummer Night’s Dream was published by William Shakespeare in 1600 and it is still being read today. Shakespeare has a way with his humor where his jokes still seem to make sense and make us laugh today. The jokes that Shakespeare uses‚ not many people can understand‚ I think it is better when the audience sees those jokes played out in the movie because it adds to the humor and understanding of the play in the movie. In 1999‚ Michael Hoffman directed

    Themes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a play that relies on opposing themes to generate the events in the play.

    The story of Pyramus and Thisbe offers a very subtle return to a couple of the main elements of A Midsummer Night’s Dream: lovers caught up in misunderstanding and sorrow enhanced by the darkness of night. Like the main story of the outer play‚ the inner play consists of a tragic premise made comical by the actors. The craftsmen’s unintentionally goofy portrayal of the woe of Pyramus and Thisbe makes the melodramatic romantic entanglements of the young Athenian lovers seem even more comical. However
