“inferior” to men. While I don’t necessarily agree with those assumptions‚ Shakespeare is known for writing plays that often exaggerate those traits.

This sense of power (by Hermia & Helena for example) was often shown through determination and rebelliousness. Hermia has a very independent personality and seems to do what

This did not just happen‚ Lysander did not say he hates me and Helena did not just lose our friendship. This can’t be right‚ it simply can’t. Waking up I was worried for Lysander’s life‚ when I should have been worried about his love for me. Are we over? Are we done? Was my father right? No he can’t be because even Demetrius hates me. I went from having 2 men chasing after me to having everyone hate me‚ how was I so stupid. These woods have changed everyone‚ I do not know how‚ but I sense something

William Shakespeare is famous for his timeless plays and poems that multiple classes‚ as well as eras‚ can enjoy. In this particular production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream used many modern ideas to improve the audience’s understanding of the play. Along with the use of vocal expression‚ props and sets help develop the story further. Bicycles‚ created in 1817‚ were not present in Shakespeare’s life‚ and therefore not in his plays‚ either. However‚ the 1999 film used bikes for many

Mythological Themes in The Dark Night Modern day films have recycled ancient mythological symbols and themes that pre-existed many years ago. Themes in today’s films may appear different than those of ancient Greece‚ but in many ways these themes remain prevalent.

Movie vs. Play Most parts of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚"� the movie‚ met my expectations. Many of the characters were well fitted to their part. Calista Flockheart was a great choice for an actress to portray Helena and her jealousy towards the beautiful Hermia. She played Helen’s part just as I had imagined.
