    Discrimination has been an ongoing struggle as far back as history can recall, and it is unfortunate that it is still an issue today. We have made tremendous progress for women, African Americans, and other minorities, but we are still in the midst of full rights for the LGBT community. It would be unrealistic to say that this community now has complete equality, especially when states like North Carolina pass laws allowing discrimination and refusal of treatments to the LGBT community. It is…

    women has a monstrous, high pitched, little voice. In this, Nick Bottom mimics a woman’s appearance through society eyes, which is perceived as weak person with a little high voice. Peter Quince does not want Nick Bottom to play the lion because he “would fright the Duchess and the ladies that they would shriek”; Peter is afraid that his roaring would be enough “to hang us all”(1.2.61-2). This is ironic in that the Mechanicals play is atrocious, as they perform it, the Duchess and the ladies…

    I realize that the only reason why I got a main part is because that I could play the part of a young woman. I argue that I’m starting to grow a beard but it will still be my part. “The duke will be in the presence of the crowd.” Peter quince says over the excitement. We go silent. Bottom is first to speak up and gets us practicing for the days ahead. The long night’s past full of worry and nightmares of past experiences. I keep my lucky marble as close to me as I could. I might make…

    As a result of arrogance, greed and doubtful disposition, it is evident that Bottom is not a sympathetic character. Bottom shows that he has a little bit of an ego. He thinks that he can play all the roles in the production. This was shown when Peter Quince assigned the roles to the craftsmen, he wanted to play everyone’s role instantly thinking of how he can play their roles, instead of…

    Through this line, Shakespeare provokes an array of questions and thought about the distinctions between reality and fantasy. Once Bottom is sure that his time with Titania was a dream, he decides to make it into a play. He says, “ I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream; it shall be called ‘Bottom’s dream’, because it hath no bottom” (4.1, 207-209). Bottom understands how unrealistic his “dream” was. He even says that his “dream” was one that had no “bottom”, meaning that it…

Ironically, this statement will prove to be rather true, as the band’s underwhelming…
