The main character in the dream and story is a young girl named Miranda Rhea. This character is a young girl who struggles with the injustices in life. She is battling with a trauma from watching a clown in a circus who she thought was going to fall to his death and throughout that she notices that everyone is cheering it on and laughing. Much as happens in her real life where tragedies occur and the people surrounding her do not react in a manner expected by her.
The Secondary characters in the dream are the circus director and clown. There is also a man who rides a horse around the circus.
The dream takes place in a circus. This circus is the same that Miranda Rhea visited on the same day in the story.
In the dream Miranda Rhea dreams that she is in a circus. At first she sees an elephant and a horse with a man riding on it while he is standing. Then he sees the circus presenter point up at a clown. When she looks up the clown starts to fall. As the clown falls she begins to scream.

Scared of the fact that she was certain that the clown was falling to his death. Helpless to the fact that people were laughing at the fact that clown was falling to certain death.
The turning point in the dream was when the presenter pointed at the clown which then fell.
The end of the story was when the young girl's screams from fear and wakes up startled. Immediately calling for her black servant to come and comfort her.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the dissimilarities of the setting enhance the mood and conflicts, represent different ideas and themes, and portray Shakespeare’s personal ideas about how true love can overcome obstacles, especially with the help of imagination and altered minds.…

    William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is filled with details up to reader interpretation from hypothetical curtain open, to curtain close. If the title of the play did not give it away, dreams are obviously at the forefront of these interpretations.
