I have recently studied "A Midsummers Night's Dream" a few weeks back for my coursework in English so for those 3 or 4 weeks all I had in my head was "A Midsummers Night's Dream".
The Story was written in the late 16th century for the public but especially Elizabeth, who was the Queen of England at that time. Shakespeare wrote a character like the Queen as tall, reddish-blonde hair he did this so he would be in the "good books" with her.
This play is about magic, fairies and humans all mixed into together.
At the beginning, hermia is set to marry demetruis but she is in love with Lysander, helena is also in love with Lysander but Lysander loves Hermia.
Then Lysander and hermia run off to the woods together so they can be alone.
In the wood are the fairies (oberon and titania, the king and queen) and they are rowing so oberon makes a plan to make titania fall in love with the first thing she see's.
In the meantime demetruis and helena have floowed hermia and lysander into the woods.
Oberon makes this potion, and puts it on titania, demetruis and lysanders eyes and the men fall in love with helena and titania falls in love with a man with a donkey's ass on his head.
It all carries on like this through the sort and can be quite funny but after a while, I did get bored of it.
