A Midsummer Night's Dream (Folger Shakespeare Library)

0/5 ( ratings)

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare stages the workings of love. Theseus and Hippolyta, about to marry, are figures from mythology. In the woods outside Theseus’s Athens, two young men and two young women sort themselves out into couples—but not before they form first one love triangle, and then another.

Likewise in the forest, the lord and sovereign of fairyland, Oberon and Titania, fight over guardianship of a vagrant kid; Oberon utilizes sorcery to make Titania fall head over heels for a weaver named Base, whose head is briefly changed into that of a jackass by an ogre or "puck," Robin Goodfellow. At long last, Base and his mates clumsily stage the awfulness of "Pyramus and Thisbe."

Language: English
