I read “A Midsummer night’s dream”. It is written by Shakespeare. It is a comedy play.
At the first scene, the characters are Lysander, Hermia, Helena, and Demestrius. Lysander and Demestrius like Hermia, but she likes Lysander. Helena likes Demestrius, but he doesn’t like her. Egeus who is Hermia’s father forces her to marry with him. Of course, she does not want to follow that idea. Then she runs away with her real lover, Lysander.
At the second scene, the runaway lovers are in a forest. On the other hand, Puck who is a fairy and Oberon who is the king of the fairies are also in the forest. Oberon quarreled with his wife, Titania, so he is bad-humored. Then, he lets Puck to fetch a flower to make a magic pill which is similar to an aphrodisiac. The person who takes it, he/she falls in love to the other person that he/she watches at the first time. As the result of it, Lysander and Demestrius begin to like Helena. However, Helena is confused by the situation. What is worse, the confusion involves other people. Finally, Oberon let Pack lift the curses, and each couple re-realizes the love each other. Lysander loves Hermia and Demestrius loves Helena. The couple of fairies are reconciled.
After that, a great party for a wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta is held, and each couple’s happiness is celebrated.
Although I have read Shakespeare’s works once or twice, I had thought that his works were tragedies. In this experience, I found that his works were not only tragedies but also comedies and historical play. This work is comedy one, and the atmosphere of the world is very different from the other works. The proof is an appearance of fairies. The other works that he wrote do not appear such fantastic characters. He had various talents, I think. If you read this book, you would change your view for him.
