Note: It is in form of the original edition. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare between 1590 and 1597. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

{ [ Four Athenians, a concept, ~TRUE LOVE IS NEVER EASY~] } In the story, there are ones in love, Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia, Helena; There are workmen and actors, rehearsing plays for the Duke of Athens; There are non- humans, unseen by human eyes, that watch, laugh , dance, and argue.......... And, that clearly implies, where love and laughter comes together with magic, anything could happen. Including, a midsummer night's dream. Wait till you see it and find out!

A book I read last year was a Midsummer nights dream. I thought the book was good because it talked about relationships and it also talked about a battle and the reason I like reading story like this is because its good to read.

So this book was really hard to understand at first. Not only was it a play, but is it also a story. There are four main characters, Lysander who is in love with Hermia. Hermia who is in love with Lysander. Demetrius, who is in love with Hermia as well. And then poor Helena, who is in love with Demetrius. As the young lovers, Hermia and Lysander flee from their homes to go and marry somewhere else, so that Hermia's father cannot object, Helena finds out, but promises not to tell anyone. Then, after the two lovers have left, Helena goes to Demetrius and tells him about their plan. She hoped that he would be upset and marry her instead, but it doesn't work out that way. Instead he chases after the couple into the forest. The rest? You'll have to find that out for yourself.
