    A Midsummer Night’s Dream Novel Contrast A Midsummer Night’s Dream was published by William Shakespeare in 1600 and it is still being read today.

While late 16th century English women were expected to become wives and mothers‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream does not adhere to the set gender roles of the time. This can be seen through the character of Hermia who is a daring and strong willed female that transcends established norms. On the other‚ the character Helena represents desperate and submissive females‚ which were more commonplace than
