Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Dream to Remember

Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Dream to Remember

                Several tales were told; a lot of plays were showcased. This is how our English class goes on as years go by. But this year would have changed the traditional approach of erudition as we come across the eight Shakespearean classic masterpieces beginning with the love story between Romeo and Juliet. With connection to that, recently we embarked upon the fifth magnum opus of William Shakespeare which is A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was considered to be a comedy. It is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works and is widely performed across the world. As we go between the lines, we were carried by the captivating love potion brought about by Puck (Robin Goodfellow) as well as the interconnecting scenes beginning with the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta, the Amazon Queen. While having these scenes read, what must be the play’s pinnacle? What particular scene carries most of the readers to their exhilaration?

                I’m absolutely sure that you guys would really have a hard time recognizing what’s the peak of the play. Well, everyone has their own point of view with regards to this matter. But in my own viewpoint, the scene which should be considered to be the peak is when Lysander and Demetrius clash over Helena’s love and the two young Athenian ladies, Helena and Hermia had a duel upon knowing that both Athenian men end up in love with Helena. This quarrel won’t transpire without the jest of Puck, Oberon’s servant. Upon seeing that Demetrius became nasty towards Helena, the King of Fairies Oberon ordered him to spread the juice over the eyelid of Demetrius. By the way, this juice can make a sleeping person fall in love with the first person he or she sees upon waking. Without prior notice, Puck sees Lysander and Hermia, thinking that Lysander is the young Athenian whom his chief is referring to. This leads to the love of Lysander to Helena, leaving Hermia alone jealous. Upon being so jealous, she challenge Helena to a duel, and same thing goes beyond the Athenian bachelors. Good thing, Puck baffled them by imitating their voices, leading them apart in the woods.

                No other scene would make me chortle like this but this scene, and that’s the reason why I think and I consider that this is the scene with the highest point of interest. I suppose, Shakespeare’s wild mind's eye is absolutely exceptional upon having this play being written. Plausibly, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is without a doubt, a dream to remember.
