relatable than fairies and spells, but I was completely wrong. Even though A Midsummer Night’s Dream was not relatable, I liked it even more, mainly because of the theater space. Being close to the action in the Bellamy Theater is what set the two very different plays a part. I realize I do not have any experience or expertise in this subject besides attending…

Magic, the Great Mishap Markus Mack Bethel University The role of magic in “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is prevalent throughout the whole play. It’s used for good intentions, but leads to mischevious things, which turns the play into a comedy. Love is something that should be naturally sparked, but when the use of magic intervenes, it can have dire consequences. Magic has a role as if it was a hidden character of comedy and it’s the foundation of the play. Magic,…

A Legacy in Fairy Tales Many scientists believe in the long term value of talking to your children as they develop. Children who are read to develop language and reading skills much faster than their peers, and every mother of a restless child knows that the best way to get a child to be agreeable at bedtime is with a story. I’d like to explore how family stories and fairy tale traditions shape each following generation. For me, my mother raised me on books. When I was very young, I was…

care about what happens to her, does not care if she is in danger. These lines are important because they make clear Demetrius feelings. He fosters no attached me to Helena, so it cannot be argued that he still had feelings for Helena which the Fairy King’s magic potion just brought to light. Instead it is clear that the only reason Demetrius feels anything…

In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck is Oberon’s confidant throughout the play. He is also known as Robin Goodfellow, an elf with supernatural abilities. He can transform others, shapeshift, and imitate voices. Based on the in-class discussion, he is not necessarily evil, if one assumes. In fact, he loves to play tricks on others at the expense of the consequences, which result in a commotion. One example is mistaking Lysander for Demetrius as he applies the love potion on Lysander’s…

The mind is a dangerous place. Supernatural premises and concrete beliefs lead to an explanation for anything gone wrong. A kidnapping as quick as lightning. A whistle in the woods. Sounds in your house like a fox scuttling about, a hand grabbing you from behind only to see nothing behind you. The age old creature, the elf, has been a pivotal part of history not only in the Irish or European cultures but also in the South American culture as… the Duende. “I’m Joshua Gregory and this is Ology…

In “The Faery Handbag” written by Kelly Link there is a strong focus on the Characters in within the story who give us insight to the overall central theme. To begin, the story follows a girl named Genevieve. We soon learn her close connection to her grandmother Zofia. She begins to introduce Zofia with an in reference to her grandmother’s storytelling, “Promise me that you won’t believe a word” (p.577). This is where we begin to contradict between what to believe as the truth and what is a lie.…

Those who like to doze off into the world of books and zone out of reality. I would recommend this book to the audience the age of 13+ and those who are very interest into fairies. Other interests is Ink Exchange 2nd book, Fragile Eternity 3rd book, and Radiant Shadows 4th book. How I felt about this book is embarrassing because they have some lovey dovey stuff, and just make me felt embarrass while reading it. I would rate…

humorous and clownish elements of the tales which includes the trickster making another character look foolish or to make the tricksters themselves look ridiculous so they can go through with their plan. In the story “How Stories Came to Earth” the fairies begin to fight with a fake doll. This made them look very foolish and it helped Anansi to capture them, which is why it is a clownish element of a tale. Also, in the tale “Master Cat” the Master Cat tells his master “If you want to make your…
