A Midsummer Night's Dream Assignment

3. What was your favorite Act/Scene? Why?

4. Who was your least favorite character? Why?

5. Would you change any part of the play? Why or why not? If you would, what would you change?




3. My favorite Act in A Midsummer Night's Dream was Act 3 where all the drama happens and the four lovers fall asleep. I like this scene,because this is the most  dramatic point in the play and I think how it relates to the title "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Also, there is a happy ending to this scene and it's not a sad story like Romeo and Juliet that has a very depressing ending. 

4.My least favorite character was Helena, because she was so annoying in the beginning and middle of the story. She wouldn't stop putting herself down which was annoying and funny, but mostly annoying. She didn't sound very smart when she was planning to get back Demetrius by telling him that Hermia was running away with Lysander or she was just really really in love with Demetrius, but I think that she's just not smart at all. 

5. The part that I would change in the play is when Shakespeare skips the part where they all get married. It really confused me and I thought it was pretty difficult to understand. Also, I think that the ending was horrible, Puck says it's all a dream, know wonder Shakespeare isn't known for this play. It should have been Oberon saying that the balance of life was back to normal and that's it. I thought that Hippolyta was going to be an important part, but it wasn't. I think that the play should have been less focus on the four lovers and a little more on other characters. So many things that Shakespeare could have done with this play and did the worst thing possible with the ending.
