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.

YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD TO HAVE A DREAM! You are never too old to dream a new dream. Isn’t that a beautiful statement? Indeed‚ the thought of growing older is never appealing. Not only do we feel bad over the physical changes that take place‚ but with every passing year we look back and wonder what could have been. What could we have achieved if only we started getting serious about life when we were younger? What great things could we have done if only we had a good “start”? How sad it must
