Dreams and Deception
When I was around 7 years old, I had a nightmare I will remember for the rest of my life. It was a dark, stormy night, and it was quiet. I remember laying in my bed unable to go to sleep because I was so scared. I was scared something bad was about to happen. When I was finally able to go to sleep, my nightmare began. I found myself outside running from my house, drenched from the rain, not knowing what I was running from. A second later though, I did because I heard a loud boom coming from my house that startled me. This made me have the urge to run even faster. I then saw three men, wearing all black come out of my house towards me, each having guns with their fingers on the trigger. My first instinct was …show more content…
I just told you that story because it relates to dreams and deception. The play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” by Shakespeare also relates to it as well. The play is about 5 characters going off on an adventure that’s so crazy that when they wake up, they each think it’s a dream. These 5 character’s names are Lysander, Hermia, Helena, Demetrius, and Bottom. The first four know each other, but Bottom is separate from them, with completely different things happening. He’s supposed to be the star of a play that was to be in front of Theseus and Hippolyta, who are scheduled to get married. The other four characters come from a different background. Hermia wants to marry Lysander, but the law states that Hermia’s dad (Egeus) gets to decide who she marries. And Hermia’s father wants her to marry a man named, Demetrius. So Lysander and Hermia decide to run away from Athens, leaving everything behind, hoping to get married someplace …show more content…
After all of the arguing with one another, they learn a lesson. That lesson is that nothing in the world can come before true love. Lysander is the one to have the best quote to explain this theme. He says this while he is arguing with Demetrius and Egeus about who Hermia should marry. ''You have her father's love, Demetrius. Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him.'' Now there are two main concepts in the play. One is arranged love, and the other is true love. Lysander and Hermia are on the side of true love, and Demetrius and Egeus are on the side of arranged love. And I guess Helena is somewhere in the middle. His point is, that two people should be able to marry each other if they truly love each other. This quote also lets the audience know who’s side people are on. The lines in the sand have been drawn. And don’t audiences love a good insult. People in general today love drama. It entertains them in a way most people don’t understand. So the conflict between the lovers is resolved when Lysander comes clean to Theseus and Egeus about what happened, and Demetrius shows his love for Helena now, instead of Hermia. So the lovers have their happy
