I have recently watched a movie called High Noon and just read a short story called "The Most Dangerous Game." High Noon came out in theaters in 1952 and is about a Marshall who has four criminals who want revenge on him for putting one of them in jail. It has cowboys and gun fights in the Old West. "The Most Dangerous Game" came out in 1924 and is about hunting and the main character surviving all by himself. Both of these stories are very well told and partly have suspense. They might have a lot

In Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ metaphors concerning the moon‚ flowers‚ and Cupid are prevalent and have a significant impact on the play. The play focuses on a romantic situation between four Athenians: Hermia‚ Lysander‚ Helena‚ and Demetrius. As the story unravels‚ many comparisons are made to enhance the language and the messages that the characters try to convey.

Shakespeare conveys his ridicule of love through various methods in A Midsummer’s Night Dream such as portraying love as a game through Helena and Demetrius’ one-sided love and incorporating a love potion which is bound to result in comedy. Usually when a confession of love is not reciprocated the person takes the hint‚ yet Helena struggles to understand that Demetrius‚ “in plainest truth”‚ tells her he does “not‚ nor [he] cannot‚ love” her and continues to express his annoyance (II.i.185-186).

In the play A Midsummer’s Night Dream‚ elements of insult comedy are found as Shakespeare incorporates to elevate the humor. Insult comedy is a form of comedy that is intended to offend or mock a person or group of people. Shakespeare utilizes this very well as a way to improve upon the plot‚ with examples such as Helena’s love for Demetrius and Demetrius’s hate for Helena‚ as well as describing the terrible acting of the Mechanicals. Insults are an effective form of comedy for Shakespeare and

“Midsummer’s Night Dream” is interwoven with supernatural elements such as fairies‚ elves‚ unrealistic dreams that have been used as a tool to create confusion and therefore comedy within a dream about romance. Like the witches in Macbeth‚ the fairies in “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” are very much a part of life and interact with men and this can be clearly seen when Oberon accuses Titania of having an affair with the mortal Thesus. Dreams within a dream are created within the mid-summer’s night dream

Analyzing A Midsummer Night’s Dream In A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ William Shakespeare decided to include multiple plays within the play. I would say that adding a play within a play shows the artist creativity and shows that there is more than one way of describing what is meant. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ Theseus is preparing to become married to Hippolyta. This play in fact has so much relevance to love‚ that the other plays within this one are also about love. The other plays were used to

Similarly‚ this must be the effect that the unique setting of “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” has on the characters in the play. The setting of the play consists of two distinct worlds‚ Athens and the Fairy Forest‚ which are both alike yet disparate in many ways. By identifying and comparing the numerous characteristics of William Shakespeare’s
