“And though she be but little‚ she is fierce.” This quotation from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is not only one of his more famous quotations‚ but is also an accurate representation of Shakespeare’s last play: The Tempest. It is neither close to the length of some of his more famous plays‚ nor close to as well known; nevertheless‚ it is a delightfully engaging and amusing play containing valuable universal truths.

in its construction; in performance it can at times seem riotous and out of control‚ and yet the structure of the play shows a clear interest in symmetry and patterning. My intention is to examine Shakespeare’s concords and discords in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Brent Barcelo Mrs. Canady AP Language and Composition 08 10 11 William Shakespeare “A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Act I and II” Starting on Act 1‚ tensions and problems already begin to introduce themselves. It all begins with love and war. With the audience wanting Demetrius‚ Lysander‚ Hermia‚ and Helena to be separated lovers‚ the author places both Demetrius and Lysander to love Hermia instead of Helena.
