A midsummer night’s dream is a
play written by everyone’s favourite William Shakespeare. This book was written
in the year 1595/96. The play consists of many subplots that takes place in the
forest. it is one the most popular works by William Shakespeare.
The story begins with the
marriage preparation of Theseus the duke of Athens and hippolyta who was the
queen of the Amazons..Egeus is a nobleman of Athens. He wishes that his
daughter hermia should married Dermetrius but Hermia loves Lysander and they Plan
to escape from Athens and marry. Hermia tells about this plan to her friend
named Helena. Helena tells the plan about Hermia and Lysander to Dermetrius.
The night that Hermia and Lysander plan to escape, dermetrius follows them in
the forest.
In the forest, there are two
groups. One is the group of fairies including Oberon and his queen Titania who
had come to bless Theseus and Hippolyta for their marriage. Another group in
the forest are the craftsman who had planned a play for Theseus and Hippolyta’s
marriage. Oberon and Titania have a small fight amongst them and Oberon plans
to take revenge against Titania.
Oberon sends puck to get a
magical flower. The juice of that flower can spread over a sleeping person’s
eyelid to make that person fall in love with the first thing they see after
waking up. He orders puck to put the juice of that flower on Dermetrius and
Titania. Puck get confused and makes mistakes. After all the confusion,puck
resolves the mistakes and everybody wake up to a good morning.
Personally, I love the playas it
has many twists and turns. It is basically a love polygon that gets
complicated. For anyone who loves reading, would love this one too.
