Chaos And Order In A Midsummer Night's Dream

Most of the time, when a person thinks they can control another person, they are mistaken. A Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare is a play that demonstrates the subject of control. Several Characters in the play attempts to make another person do what they want. An example in the story is when a woman named Helena is tries to force a man named Demetrius to love her by chasing him in the woods trying to persuade him. At the end, Shakespeare makes the case that it is not possible to control another person’s actions, because the results are unwanted and tragic.

Control is defined as the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events. In play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare there is control, love, hatred, jealousy, and happiness. Oberon controls people to feel anger, he controls people out of power, and controls people out of love. Many people control others because of anger.

Control can get out of hand when given to one single human being and can create major egregious problems to others. An infamous example is how Adolf Hitler attempted and almost succeeded to eliminate the entire Jewish population because he believed they were an inferior race. In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the characters constantly try to control each other for the sake of who they love, to gain control over people’s lives, as well as the sole idea of revenge. A vital point in, A Midsummer Night's Dream is using control along with manipulation to gain love.

Midsummer Night’s Dream The Thematic Idea of Love In the play Midsummer Night’s Dream ,the couple that shows the best example of the thematic idea of love would be Hermia and Lysander. What they show us about love,as human beings,is the strong bonding,the strong love one can for take. An example to show this would be when Lysander as telling Hermia his plan, he said”If thou lovest me then,/Steal forth thy father’s house tomorrow night./And in the wood,a league without the town”(1.1.163-165).This scene shows that they are willing to break the law just so they can be together.

High school and A Midsummer Night’s Dream relate in a variety of ways. Depending on who people are with can cause them to lose focus on who they are, such as Demetrious. Whenever he talks with Hermia, he doesn’t act like himself but with Helena, his true self comes out. Similar to how high school relationships can end in a blink of an eye, Lysander falling in love with Helena lasts but for a few hours at most. Due to the fairy, Titania and Bottom fall in love in a blink of an eye, which causes her to lose her true self.

Humans make many choices in life, but every single decision leads down to one end, even if they do not realize or do not expect how it will turn out. However, every person’s decision will fall into place and lead to their fate. In the story A Midnight Summer’s Dream, William Shakespeare shows the effect fate has on everyone’s life. Set in the Greek times, the main characters, Hermia, Lysander, Helena, Demetrius, Oberon, and Titania are all in a big love circle with fighting, and people loving different people.

Importance of Dreams As the title indicates, dreams are an important theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A dream is not real, although it does seem real when we experience it. Shakespeare seems to be interested in the workings of dreams.

Another important external aspect is the time. It is a love characterized by the rush that seems to lead to the fatal ending. They marry the next day they met and even the two lovers realize the hurry of their acts. For example, Romeo defines his love as: “A lightning before death: O, how may I Call this a lightning?” and Juliet as: “too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say 'It lightens” (Act II, scene II). We can see that Shakespeare relates the young love to impulsiveness and rush and represents how this is lamented.

The Ironic Scenes of Shakespeare’s Famous Play “Never did mockers waste more idle breath,” cried Helena, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, incorrectly thinking she was being mocked (Shakespeare 3.2 170).

Reading this quote from Theseus, I can see the excitement and the envy Theseus have of being married. Being married to an Athenian woman that is smart and at the same time strong is a lot of responsibility, so for someone to be as excited as Theseus this shows how responsible and courageous he is. Many people in my opinion would share the same desire and excitement before marriage. It’s as if a teenager is going to his first ball of the year. The happiness and the stress one feel, are the factor that makes this moment great.

The theme of dreams is very important in the Midsummer Night’s Dream play by William Shakespeare. The dreams in this play help emphasize the meaning of the play.

Shakespeare managed to present ideas of dreaming brilliantly throughout the play.
