In "A Midsummer Night’s Dream"‚ Shakespeare uses the mechanicals to differentiate the reality from the dream‚ while his use of imagination and fairies leads to the lovers’ transformation which demonstrates how naive the Athenian youths are. The mechanicals served as a barrier between the worlds of dream and the reality. According to Williams‚ the mechanics shows a level of reality.
