    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.

    "It has often been remarked that woman have a curious power of divining the characters of men"(75). This quotation from The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens reflects the opposite of what a typical Dickensian society is supposedly based upon. In this standard society‚ the plot would be based around the life of a dominant male. Although the title reflects a male name‚ the movement in the novel is directly related to the exploits of a particular character‚ Rosa Bud. Fondly called Rosebud by
