A Mid Summer Night's Dream Topic Analysis

Talking about the story, well it is opens with Theseus and Hippolyta planning their wedding, which takes place in four days. Egeus enters with his daughter, Hermia, and her two suitors, Lysander and Demetrius. Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her father wants her to marry Demetrius.


1. According to my comprehension, the topics of this drama are: First is about Love because Shakespeare explores how people tend to fall in love with those who appear beautiful to them in this play, the second is Magic because Shakespeare uses magic both to embody the almost supernatural power of love and to create a surreal world, the third is about Dreams because dreams are an important theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, they are linked to the bizarre, magical mishaps in the forest, the fourth is about Jealousy, in which jealousy plays out most obviously among the quartet of Athenian lovers, who find themselves in an increasingly tangled knot of misaligned desire. Helena begins the play feeling jealous of Hermia, who has managed to snag not one but two suitors, the last one is about Friendship between Helena and Hermia.

2. The love topic's that is describe in this play is the asymmetrical love among the four young Athenians, they are Hermia loves Lysander, Lysander loves Hermia, Helena loves Demetrius, and Demetrius loves Hermia. Further because of the imbalance of love in which two men love the same woman and leaving one woman with too many suitors and one with too few. The play has told us about the imbalance love that is when the lovers’ tangle resolves itself into symmetrical pairings, but then  happy ending will have been achieved. So this is what happened in the relationship between Titania and Oberon, an imbalance arises out of the fact that Oberon’s coveting of Titania’s Indian boy outweighs his love for her. Moreover, it also show the representation of the imbalance of appearance and nature. In which that Titania is beautiful and graceful,but she is clumsy and weird.

3.  If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended:
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream.   (5.1.423–28)

In the quotation it shows where Titania, the lovers and then Bottom are all roused from sleep, Demetrius wonders about the distinction between sleeping and waking. In the story almost every character falls asleep at some point, and  shows the possibility that what happens afterwards is their dream rather than or not a reality.


The next one, in the unconscious side, from Helena's perspective, we can see that she was jealous of Hermia because of the attention she was receiving from Lysander and Demetrius and In the forest, both of the men love Helena instead of Hermia. Not only does this reveal her fantasy of two men loving her, but it also represents a cry for attention in general. It describes in this quotation:

 "Can you not hate me, as I know you do,
But you must join in souls to mock me too?" (Act 3 in the Scene 2)
