    4/14/13 A Midsummer Night’s Dream Response All of the Characters in the 1999 production of Shakespeare’s poem‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ were well played and showed thought-out preparation. Two characters that I liked the most and who were most vivid and well portrayed are Theseus and Helena. Puck‚ played by Stanley Tucci‚ was a very entertaining character but Stanley did not elaborate much with his character. Theseus‚ played by David Strathairn‚ is a character that was easy to follow. I

    Personally‚ I prefer the original play of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” only slightly more than the film adaption that was recreated in the late 1990’s. Not only had William Shakespeare managed to fully grasp the meaning of true love‚ but had also comprehended the dark times that came alongside such an influential and overpowering emotion. Although the movie had effectively and humorously portrayed the problems that were brewing amongst the fairies‚ workers‚ and lovers‚ it still missed the raw‚ poetic
