A Midsummer Night’s Dream is on the three different stories of characters that are all connected in some way.
The movie starts of with Theseus, the duke of Athens, and his marriage to Hippolyta, the women he will be married to in four days. While everyone is preparing for their marriage, including his Master of Revels (who is sent to search for amusement for the celebration of his marriage), he is called by Egeus, a nobleman. Egeus tells Theseus that he is having trouble with his daughter, Hermia. Hermia wants to marry her love, Lysander, while her father wants her to marry Demetrius, who also loves her. Egeus tells Theseus that the law says that Hermia must listen to him because she is his property and he can …show more content…
John Goodfellow, trying to fix his mistakes, spreads the love potion onto the eyes of Demetrius, who awakens to find Helena. He expresses his love for her, while she thinks it’s a trick being played on her because both Lysander and Demetrius say that they are in love with her. Hermia finally find the three of them and asks why Lysander had left her, to which he responds that he hates her and left her because he doesn’t wish to see her any longer. Lysander and Demetrius start to fight over Helena, while Helena accuses Hermia of being an awful friend for having them play this horrid trick on her. Hermia, angry, accuses Helena of being a vixen, stealing the heart of the man she loves. Hermia and Helena start fighting, to which Lysander and Demetrius both protect Helena and treat Hermia very poorly. Oberon and John Goodfellow see this event and Oberon tells Goodfellow to take the love potion off of Lysander. Goodfellow separates Lysander and Demetrius by imitating each other and ends up putting all four of them to sleep. He removes the love potion off of Lysander so that he’ll be in love with Hermia once again. The four of them are found by Theseus, Hippolyta, and Egeus asleep naked in the forest. Egeus is very angry that Hermia and Lysander had tried to escape, also telling Demetrius must be angry to that his wife-to-be tried to leave. He denies this and says that he no longer loves Hermia, but Helena …show more content…
They played a big role in the movie because the fate of the characters depended on where their relationship was. Because Oberon and Titania were the king and queen of the fairies, they controlled nature, as well as what happened to the couples. When they fought, they caused all of nature to be disrupted. In the movie, both of them were on opposite sides of each other with medium shots. None of them were together in the same shot. While they are fighting, the rest of the world is in discord. This can be shown by the first scene that they were in. They both fought over the beautiful young boy, and because neither of them will give the boy up, it causes all of the events in the movie to happen. If one of them had given up on fighting over the boy, then Lysander wouldn’t have left Hermia. The reason Lysander fell in love with Helena in the play was because Oberon ordered Goodfellow to put the love juice on the eyelids of the Athenian young man. Oberon wouldn’t have seen how badly Demetrius had treated Helena if he weren’t trying to get revenge on Titania. Even if he were to see them, he wouldn’t have thought about trying to fix the relationship through a love potion if he weren’t already getting the love potion to used on Titania. Titania also wouldn’t have met Nick Bottom if she had let Oberon have the young boy. If she had let Oberon have his way, they would have gotten along just fine, instead of him trying to get back at
