“all’s well that ends well.” In the case of the comedies of William Shakespeare‚ this is almost universally true. With specific regard to A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ the machinations of Oberon are able to bring together Lysander and Hermia‚ as well as Helena and Demetrius‚ in a way that provides for the happiest of conclusions.

flower‚ moth and spider is just an incredible coincidence. White in this poem could be a symbol of purity or innocence. In the life process‚ nature just happens; making it pure and neutral. This situation makes the reader wonder how three very unusually colored beings are all interacting in the same place at the same time. More specifically the moth is darker; symbolizing death and loss of innocence. Frost now shows us that the spider isn’t completely innocent; it is‚ after all‚ eating a moth. It shows

Influenced by the Devil‚ and his own enjoyment‚ he became a bank broker. However‚ in his later years Daniel became an avid church goer as means to keep the Devil from collecting his soul.

The peppered moths potentially would have been wiped out during the Industrial Revolution‚ when the pollution in the air caused the trees to turn black and it was hard for the white speckled moths to blend into the trees.
