PR – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Overall, I would rate this play a 7/10 because it was my favourite thing so far. My favourite part of the play was when all the workers put on the play at the wedding. I liked this part because the workers keep on saying funny lines or messing up their lines. Sometimes I wouldn’t get the joke immediately but when I did, I thought it was really funny. However, I didn’t really like how Theseus and Hippolyta kept on interrupting the play because I feel like it interrupted the flow of it. I also really liked the part where the four lovers changed the love cycle a lot of times, because I felt it made it way more interesting and kind of chaotic. I found that the story was pretty easy to follow along with, unlike the other stories that we had read. My second favourite part was when Titania fell in love with Bottom because I found it very unique and funny, because Bottom was really confused. My least favourite character was Demetrius because I felt he was very rude to Helena. Even though he didn’t like her, I felt like he was not being considerate to her feelings by being rude.

When we first began reading the book, and we received it, I was a bit worried that we would have to read all of that because I generally have trouble interpreting poems, so when we watched the movie I felt relieved. I believed that watching the movie really helped me understand what was going on better.

I like this play because it is a mix between multiple genres. Such as, comedy, romance, fantasy and others. It has an interesting plot and a lot of plot twists. When we first received the book I was skim reading and saw ahead how the love circle had changed so before we reached those parts of the play I already knew that the lovers would change.
