ShakespeareEveryone in this life wants to be with the one he or she loves. this story is talking about two couples who are in love with each other.

Lysander and Hermia thay have problems. cause the Duke of Athens which his name is Theseus doesn't want Hermia to get married with him he wants her to married Demetrius or she is going to die !! of course the lovers run away to a fairland wood outside Athens. this story is about ideas and feelings, love and dreams. people dream when they are asleep, when they fall in love. they also imagine things these things are not real .. but i think it could be !! In ancient Greece, OBERON, king of the fairies wantted to get the baby who been have TITANIA, queen of the fairies. On the other hand LYSADER, HERMIA, DEMETRIUS and HELENA went in fairies' forest. It's the story of strange and funny loves. This is a great comedy. All of sentences have mysterious atomosphere, and a certain scene is very intence and funny. But it was too difficult for me to read in English. I have never read Shakespeariana. But, this time, I really enjoyed reading this play. In this play, there are many nice lines and those are so funny, sad, and loving!! I'm sorry I can't watch this play. I, however, dislike this ending. I think this ending is not as happy as it seems to be, because Demetrius's love for Helena is not true. It's just flower's power! I wonder why Shakespeare concluded this play like this. Hermia love Lysander and he love her. And Demetrius love Hermia too. Helena love Demetrius. But the relationship change becaus of fairies. The trouble happened strangely. I saw the play of the story in Japanese, so I can read this book imaging the scene.The story is very funny, for example the word that Demetrius and Lysander spoke to Helena. And fairy's world is very interesting and nice. |
