“A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.” In comedy, the only characteristic shared between comedies is their want to make people laugh, and it can be difficult to pull off such a seemingly simple task. As defined by the New Oxford…

"The course of genuine romance never ran smooth," remarks Lysander of adoration's complexities in a trade with Hermia (Shakespeare I.i.136). In spite of the fact that the play A Midsummer Night's Dream absolutely manages the trouble of sentiment, it isn't viewed as a genuine romance story like Romeo and Juliet.

Instead of making them straightforward romances, he adds enough characterization and plot instances that make you question just how normal these couples are. When taking a look at the couples in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, and briefly at Othello, the complexity of the relationships shows that nothing is quite as it seems. The first couples we’re…

John Singer always put his hand on his friend’s arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him. Because McCullers was the prisoner of the grotesque, she chooses for her fictional world people with the misfits, the ugly and the abnormal.
