In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, William Shakespeare makes effective use of scenery to illustrate the recurring themes and motifs expressed throughout his play. The two biggest contrasts employed within this literary work are those of Athens and the forest. Athens, during the day, expresses the rationality and stability that is not seen elsewhere expressed throughout “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of…
When others get married you go to their wedding, bring gifts and praise for the newly married couple, and then you more than likely follow up with the reception with food, cake, fun, and laughter. But, no one never really knows what happens years or days later after a couple get married. You don’t know if they argue, if they got married because everyone else was saying “get married,” or if they did it because really meant something to one another. In this situation, if Demtertirus should've…
Next, comes the land of the fairies. According to Ritcher, this is the opening of “the play within the play” (1). The setting for this part of the play is in the woods. It seems as if the channel is changed and an entirely different story unfolds. Bottoms, at some point has disappeared as play rehearsal is in order and he re-enters the scene with a donkeys head (Shakespeare 75). It seems he has fell victim to a prank. Puck is the prankster of the play. Puck, is a fairy who seems to enjoy…
The Amazon queen, Hippolyta is in greek myth a symbol of female power, marchiarty, and independence. Also, Titania rebelled against make authority at one point. She didn’t allow Oberon to tell her what to do and didn’t allow him to have the Indian boy. She fights for what she wants and not what Oberon wants, revealing strong female independent qualities. Sadly, that is one of the few that show female power. All other power is apparently for men and all their rights are over their woman…
Love is a magical, mysterious, and mesmerizing feeling. It can be felt all around the world in between many different people, even multiple people, but when multiple people become involved, a lot of contradicting reactions can result. In Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, we can see how multiple love triangles bring drama, humor, and terror to the play. All three reactions create clumps of crazy chaos to the script and lure the reader in. We first see the love triangles appear when Hermia’s…
I think Shakespeare adapted female roles dependant on the genre of the play as it would help accentuate certain themes and aspects within the script. The female roles could usually be related to the social normalities of the sexes within Shakespeare’s time as women were stereotypically below men in the social hierarchy and most of William Shakespeare’s plays conform to this but at the same time challenge aspects of it. His plays portray women as having a sense of high wilfulness with an attempt…

was a major symbol in the play, instead of using it in a good way though it was taken advantage of and causes conflicts between the two pairs of lovers. The love potion was applied on the wrong person because of Puck’s mistake. Puck was ordered by Oberon to apply the love potion on a…
In this irrational play, Robin Good fellow is asked to rub a special type of flower on Demetrius’ eyes so that he would fall in love with the next thing that he sees, hoping that he would start to woo Helena. Since Oberon gave Robin such vague details of who the boy was, Robin accidently applies the flower onto Lysander’s eyes, causing him to rapidly fall in love with Helena instead of Hermia. This accident also follows one of the main themes of the play which is the course of love never did run…
