Athenians

Mid Summer Nights Dream

Potential Themes

Love leads to madness: All of Midsummer Night's Dream is about one persons love to another person. Love is what led this play into it's problems and gave the story it's conflicts.

Setting

Athens, Greece: Home to all the characters and was ruled by Theseus, who was getting married to Hippolyta.

Forest of Fairies: Home to the fairies and where majority of the play took place. Most of the 3 sets of characters had been in the forest at the same time and the only ones who knew about their presence were the fairies, Oberon and Puck.

First Impressions

I had thought that the play was very confusing. The roles of some characters didn't always make sense to me, who loved who tended to get confusing and some phrasing even with the translations didn't make sense. Even now, after reading it several times, I can see it's just a confusing play, and how everything happens at once.

Conflicts

Person vs. Nature

Characters vs. Love Flower/juice: The flower which cupid had shot his arrow on was what created the whole plot and problems of Midsummer Night's Dream. It caused both Lysander and Demetrius to love Helena, when originally the both did not. And it caused Titania to love Nick Bottom with the donkey head. While Oberon and Puck just sat back and enjoyed it.

Person vs. Society

Hermia and Lysander vs. The Rules of Athens: Both Hermia and Lysander loved each other so much to the point where they were willing to fight for each other against the leader of their people, and Hermia was willing to die just to not be with Demetrius. Neither were willing to accept the rules of Athens, so both of them fled into the forest, away from their home where they were not accepted by law and their society.

Person vs. Person

Hermia vs. Egeus Hermia was unwilling to follow her fathers rules and marry Demetrius. She wanted to love Lysander without any consequences and was willing to fight and flee her home in order to obtain it.

Titania vs. Oberon: Titania and Oberon had been fighting over a beautiful Indian boy who Oberon wanted for as a knight and Titania just wanted to take care and love him. By Oberon being stubborn and wanting the boy, he pulled a nasty prank on Titania which would make her forget about the boy and start loving Nick Bottom.
