Found this
to be the most ridiculous play I’ve read yet. I know it has a lot going for it,
but when you bring in fairies that are holding grudges and dragging humans into
their squabbles, I get a bit put off. Bottom has the worst deal in my opinion.
Once again
love triangles feature and then the fairies get involved and everything is up
in the air. Hermia and Lysander want to get married, but there are
complications. Demetrius also loves Hermia and Hermia’s father would quite like
Demetrius to marry Hermia. But then Hermia’s friend Helena likes Demetrius, but
of course he isn’t interested. And that’s just one of four plot lines that intersect
at various points.
To be
honest this wasn’t my favourite. It was alright but I didn’t really like any of
the characters, other than maybe Puck. But it’s another one off my list and taken
care of. Looks like I might be able achieve my goal this year. And the more I
read of them the easier they are to understand. Maybe they improve on a second
reading.
