A Midsummer Night's Dream Essay Questions

2. If you were to act this play out on stage, which character would you choose to be and why?

If I were to act this play out on stage I would be Robin Goodfellow or Puck the mischievous fairy. I would be Puck because his role seems like fun to play. Puck gets to go around making humans look like fools without being reprimanded. He is just like an incognito criminal. His job is to make the King of fairy's, Oberon laugh and have fun. It would be an unusual but exciting job to be the jester of the King of fairy's.

3.What was your favorite Act/Scene?

I had a lot of favorite scenes in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream. One of my favorite scenes was when Hermia was attempting to fight Helena. Hermia was so ready to get into a brawl with someone who was supposed to be her friend. Also it was awkward to hear that Helena made fun of Hermia because of her height. Hermia sounded kind of crazy when she said "let me at her I will gauge her eyes out. I enjoyed watching this scene acted out in our class. It was action filled and event filled.

4. Who was your least favorite character? Why?

In the play A Midsummer Night's Dream my least favorite character was Helena. She was my least favorite because she seemed to insecure and desperate that she was willing to do anything for the love of Demetrius. I also felt bad for her because she went on an emotional roller coaster. First she was loved by Demetrius and then hated by him. Then she was loved by both Lysander and Demetrius to the point where they were willing to fight for her love. Then she was loved by her true love Demetrius who treated her like a dog in the beginning of the play. She had so little confidence in herself that she had to tell on her best friend just in an attempt to get what she wanted, and even then she didn't even get the attention of Demetrius.
