My question is what is the purpose of the actors in the play Midsummer Nights Dream. The three main reasons why the actors are in the play are that they tie back to real life, show what true love really is, and to depict a real marriage. The play ties to real life because it shows how couples should be like in real life. The whole play is basically saying that there can be an uneven balance between the four Athenian lovers.

The funny humor from Puck can show the fun that kids can have when they are young and that you can still act like a kid if you are older. He is very good-hearted but willing to do cruel tricks. This is kind of like younger kids today. He makes unlucky mistakes like children would do like mistaking Demetrius for Lysander and putting the love potion in his eyes. This makes Lysander love the next person he sees once he awakes and he awakes to see Helena and loves her. When Hermia awakes she is confused and blames Demetrius into killing her sweet love. This is like kids accusing others even if they don't know the real truth. The play within a play showed that couples must always respect each other and the time that they have together because there could be a tragic ending but they just have to work through that even though bad things can happen. The actors in the inner play of the book sort of depicted Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius. They showed that love can be confusing and that you can't expect someone to love you back even though you may like them a lot. For example, the fact that Helena loved Demetrius but he liked Hermia and not
