A Midsummer Nights Dream

Themes

Magic

Since the fairies make up and are included in a lot of the story, magic is a constant theme in the play. The magic creates a very surreal world.

Love's Difficulty

An example is that the story is a love square, which doesn't make it easy for anyone to have a smooth relationship with another.

Story shows that love isn't a specific smooth path, and that it will always have it's twists and turns as the "love story" between people moves on.

Settings

City of Athens, Greece

Where the wedding will take place, as well as where most of the characters live.

Calm and civilized location.

Forest

The forest was where the victims (Demetrius, Lysander, and Titania were given the flower juice.

Location of chaos and anarchy.

Conflicts

Helena and Hermia

I believe that there will be some conflict between the two females since both Demetrius and Lysander went from loving Hermia to loving Helena. I think Hermia will start to get jealous of Helena.

Hermia and Egeus

Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius instead of Lysander, however Hermia does not want to do so.
