    While many will agree that Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is critically acclaimed to be one of the most entertaining and well-liked pieces that he has written, there tends to be a discrepancy over how the characters in the play are portrayed when it comes to the importance of gender roles. After reading James C Bulman’s article over the Globe’s more recent performance of Twelfth Night and Shakespeare’s original written version, I realized that there are many ways that this famous piece has been portrayed and each has its own pros and cons.…

    Shakespeare’s most popular play, A Midsummer Night’s dream, is a romantic comedy that features young lovers that fall deeply in and out of love in a brief period of time. This play is unique because it demonstrates tragedy and comedy at the same time. The comedy not only provides amusement and laughter but also helps ease tension between characters.

    A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most popular and frequently performed comical plays (Berardinelli). The play transformed into a cinematic production by Michael Hoffman has not changed in its basic plot and dialogue, but the setting and some character traits have. The play setting has been gracefully moved from 16th century Greece to 19th century Tuscany (Berardinelli). The addition of bicycles to the play affects the characters in that they no longer have to chase each other around the woods, but can take chase in a more efficient fashion. As far as characters are concerned, Demetrius is no longer the smug and somewhat rude character we find in act 1, scene 1 (Shakespeare pg. 6, line 91), but rather a seemingly indifferent gentleman placed in an unfortunate circumstance set to delay his wedding to Hermia. Perhaps the most noticeable change in the character set from stage to film occurs in the characters of Puck and Nick Bottom.…

    Both texts use characters to signify the role of women in society and the struggles of overcoming patriarchy and strict moral code in a sustained society. Each composer’s purpose was to bring forward a response to the role of women to be submissive, silent and subordinate. This is revealed in the opening scenes of Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. The opening of the play depicts a harsh, patriarchal society that contributes to the shaping of the role of women as well as the surrounding society’s identity. This is clearly explored throughout the juxtaposition of both the mortal and fairy world where Shakespeare makes it evident that the patriarchal hierarchy is a key element that dominates the freedom over women. A strong representation of this is in Act 1, Scene 1, where a resonant voice from the Duke, Theseus empowers…

    A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy by William Shakespeare that takes place in Athens, Greece and in the forest where chaos unfolds on four lovers: Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius. In these relationships the men are in power, belittling the women. Also, in the forest chaos happens between the fairies, King Oberon and Queen Titania, because he puts a potion on her and other in which the men are in control of the society they are in. An example of patriarchy is in the relationships between Theseus and Hippolyta, Lysander and Hermia, and Demetrius and Helena when the men take control. Throughout the play the men have power over the women, as…

    In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare brilliantly uses the night as a motif which plays a valuable role in the play. He combines this motif with the related symbols of the play to demonstrate the power of night and its correlation with love and vision. He uses symbolism and imagery to develop the motif and makes extensive use of the night forest which, in part, helps the situation of the four young lovers, one of the main plots of the play.…

    Just as society and human-beings in general, the female gender is incredibly diverse. Some people depict women as soft, powerless, naïve, and somewhat “inferior” to men. While I don’t necessarily agree with those assumptions, Shakespeare is known for writing plays that often exaggerate those traits. But, it seems as if he avoided gaining comfort within that specific style of writing in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, deciding to give the female characters a bit of superiority. This sense of power (by Hermia & Helena for example) was often shown through determination and rebelliousness.…

    Gender roles and relationships have been among the most commonly explored themes in literature for several centuries. William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the earlier examples of this, exploring the malleable nature of these roles and relationships. The play starts in ancient Athens which represents a perfect example of a patriarchal society. However, shortly afterwards, the action is moved to the forest where fairies and magic begin to interfere in the traditional order of Athenian society. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, the attempts of men to control women drive the action of the play and gender roles and relationships are changed as magic becomes involved. Furthermore, the dreamlike feeling of the main action of the play is enhanced by a lack of permanent change in the status quo.…

    William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest English playwright of all time. His plays bring out emotion, and inspire people many generations after his death. Many of the themes that are present in his writings are still relevant today. However, Shakespeare hasn’t shed a very good light on all of his characters, especially the female characters. Based on his portrayal of the women in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Othello, Shakespeare appears to be a misogynist.…

    A major theme of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare is the treatment of women. Shakespeare wrote the play in the late 1500’s, when women did not have any power. Throughout the play, there is evidence that men treat a woman as property and as objects. The female characters are Hermia, Helena, Titania, and Hippolyta. The female characters have different roles and beliefs in the play. The theme of treatment of women in A Midsummer Night’s Dream is significant because of the affects laws and men have on Hermia, Helena, and Hippolyta.…
