      A reasonably mild edition of a great play, but one that will be eminently suitable for highschool students and actors.

      Lyrical and mesmerizing! I got a dramatized audio copy of this book. It really brings this story to life!

      A very different love story for the ages. Couplings, love triangles, love quads, and love chases. It is all here. Thank you fantasy forest for all this wonderful chaos. Some parts a whimsical, others near tragic, some comedy. You never know what the next scene will hold.

      When just listening to this, it can take a bit to follow the story at first. I had no idea who anyone was and names are not mentioned enough to quickly catch on. The only indication to the setting is the sounds you here. It really is just like listening to a play. They even have a full cast for the audio so each character is voiced by someone new. While it makes it far more enjoyable it just made things take a little longer.

      I finally got to learn where several famous quotes and expressions came from. Hearing certain lines brought a smile to my face. Now I just need to read the print version of this book so I can be sure I didn't miss anything. I now have a mental soundtrack to go with it.

      While I am not a huge Shakespeare fan I did find this particular play to be pretty darn good. I enjoyed the fact that there was this mix of fantasy with ideas that we can all relate to with unrequited love. It was fascinating to see how Shakespeare made fun of his own play "Romeo and Juliet" within the story as well. There is such a great woven story here that anyone that enjoys reading plays should read this. This was another book that I had to read for my Theatre course.

      "If we shadows have offended,/Thing but this--and all is mended--/That you have but slumber'd here/While these visions did appear./And this weak and idle theme,/No more yielding but a dream,/Gentles, do not reprehend;/If you pardon, we will mend./And, as I'm an honest Puck,/If we have unearned luck/Now to' scape the serpent's tongue,/We will make amends ere long;/Else the Puck a liar call:/So, good night unto you all./Give me your hands, if we be friends,?/And Robin shall restore Amends"

      By ending the play with this quote, Shakespeare seems to leave it for us to decide whether the events that occurred in the woods, or if they were dreams. Perhaps this play is what inspired Louis Carroll and Frank L. Baum to do the same in their famous stories.

      Everything that happens in the woods is somewhat confusing--for the characters at least. We know more-or-less what is going on, being party to Puck and Oberon's doings, but, as will sometimes happen in a dream, the characters are buffeted by abrupt changes to themselves, and those they care about. One moment Demetrius is cruel to Helena, the next he loves her. At one time Lysander loves Hermia, then claims to despise her, then back again. No wonder the characters were confused. These kind of character changes only happen in dreams, or if a person is crazy.

      Every character in the play is victim to Oberon's whims, including Puck, and every character is the subject of Puck's gaffe or impishness. Oberon wants Titania's changeling. A child to whom she is attached because she was friends with his mother, and so Oberon devises a cruel game to trick Titania into giving the child to him. Along the way he decides to help Helena, but tells Puck only to find a man in Athenian clothing to enchant into love with Helena, so Puck finds Lysander, who then upsets Helena by claiming to love her, and breaks Hermia's heart. Demetrius and Lysander could have hurt one another--therefore further breaking their lady's hearts--in the turmoil that followed.

      Bottom is the subject of Titania's manipulated love and Puck's parody on the two of them. Through that the rest of Bottom's troupe is also victim, being frightened, and having their practice interrupted (maybe their play wouldn't have been so painful to read if they had been able to practice more).

      A Midsummer Night's Dream has got to be the most popular Shakespearean play there is. It's one of the one's that I became familiar with through Jim Weiss (though this is my first time reading the actual play) and it has been brought into books and movies, it has been adapted into movies. It has become a ballet via Felix Mendelssohn (part of which is a violinist's nightmare,) an opera by Benjamin Britten, and has shorter pieces written for it by Henry Purcell and Ralph Vaughn-Williams.

      I have read this book twice and I really like it, it even might be my favorite among Shakespear books, for some reason the song "Strange And Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You)" Lyrics by Aqualung always reminds me of this book:

      I've been watching your world from afar
      I've been trying to be where you are
      And I've been secretly falling apart... Unseen
      To me, you're strange and you're beautiful
      You'd be so perfect with me
      But you just can't see
      You turn every head but you don't see me

      I'll put a spell on you
      You'll fall asleep
      When I put a spell on you
      And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
      And you'll realize that you love me

      Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first
      Sometimes the first thing you want never comes
      But I know that waiting is all you can do
      Sometimes

      I'll put a spell on you
      You'll fall asleep
      When I put a spell on you
      And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
      And you'll realise that you love me

      I'll put a spell on you
      You'll fall asleep
      Cause I put a spell on you
      And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
      And you'll realize that you love me

      Beautiful copy of Shakespeare's play, with the text written out by hand and Arthur Rackham's gorgeous illustrations and decorations. Gave away my copy of this to my niece one Christmas, and recently found this replacement. I'm not sure it's the same size.

      Shakespeare is always a playwright I enjoy, but I always try to read each play shortly before going to see it. That way, I get the best of both worlds. I can linger over the text so I can fully appreciate and understand it, then see the play so that I can hear the lyricism.

      Sadly, since I much prefer seeing a live performance than seeing a film version, this means I end up reading and seeing the same dozen or so of his most popular plays over and over again. One of these days I'll break down and rent a few videos so that I can fill in all the gaps in his plays I've never seen.

      This is probably the fifth time I've watched and read A Midsummer Night's Dream. I love the ending aside by Puck -- so much so that I have it memorized by now.

      This classic Shakespeare comedic play features two men in love with the same woman who both end up falling for another woman after Puck errs. Shakespeare, who often incorporates elements of fantasy, included faeries in the play. There's even a play within the play in this one. It's not my favorite Shakespeare play, but it's a good one.

      The Physics of the Impossible: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, Burton Raffel, Harold Bloom Published 2005.

      I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the
      wit of man to say what dream it was. Man is but an ass, if
      he go about to expound this dream. Methought I was—
      there is no man can tell what. Methought I was—and
      methought I had—but man is but a patch’d fool, if he
      will offer to say what methought I had. The eye of man
      hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand
      is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart
      to report, what my dream was.
      (4.1.203–212)

      (Paraphrase: I had the strangest dream. It is outside of the abilities of mankind to explain it: a man is as foolish as a donkey if he tries to about to expound this dream. Methought I was—there explain the dream of mine. I thought I was – well no one can really say what exactly. I thought I was – and I methought I had, -- but man is but a patched fool, if thought I had – but someone would be an idiot to say what I thought I had).

      I remember watching the play for the first time in Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra in 2002 (staged by Rui Mário). Shakespeare has always been an over-riding need for me. I don't have the ability to act, though I do write betimes, but there's nothing like the thrill of a life performance, like the one I watched in 2002.

      Every read of this classic reveals another tongue in cheek pun. This humorous comedy of errors deals with love, romance, fairies in an enchanted forest, a traveling actors' troupe that passes itself as professional, but offers comic relief, mistaken identity, and of course parents at the crux who will not let true love have its way. Just a simple, straightforward Shakespearean tale. Enjoy!

      Nothing is funnier than the reversal of social degrees, is it?

      C'mon, the mighty Titania falls in love with a working class sod who has the head of an ass! AND his name is Bottom!

      Still one of my favorites, but I am reminded that some plays can be read and some are better watched. This is one that is better on the stage, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be experienced in some way or another. I got a little twisted up a couple times because some of the names are similar & I wasn't paying complete attention to who was supposed to be reading.

      Far too contrived for my reading enjoyment. I'm certain that it is charming when performed on stage, but the premise wore thin upon reading. I really had no feel for the characters and cared little for their fate.

      A great story of romance with enough trickery to make it fantastical. He loves her but she loves him, and nothing is ever clear when you're in the middle of it all!

      This is an easy-to-read for anyone who is new to Shakespeare, play formats, or both. I highly recommend this for a fun look into romance and the drama that naturally ensues. It seems that we all have our own Fae dictating the rules of our hearts, sometimes.

    Feen.

    Spinneweb.

    Senfsaamen.

    Die Scene ist in Athen, und einem Wald nicht weit davon.

    Erster Aufzug.

    Erster Auftritt.

    (Des Herzogs Pallast in Athen.)

    (Theseus, Hippolita, Philostratus und Gefolge, treten auf.)

    Theseus.

    Nun nähert sich, Hippolita, die Stunde

    Die unser Bündniß knüpft, mit starken Schritten.

    Vier frohe Tage bringen einen andern Mond.

    Doch o! wie langsam, deucht mich, schwindet

    Nicht diese alte Luna! Sie ermüdet

    Mein sehnend Herz, gleich einer allzuzähen

    Stiefmutter oder Wittwe, die zu lang

    An eines jungen Mannes Renten zehrt.

    Hippolita.

    Schnell werden sich vier Tag' in Nächte tauchen,

    Vier Nächte schnell die Zeit vorüberträumen;

    Dann wird der Mond gleich einem Silberbogen

    Neu aufgespannt im Himmel, auf die Nacht

    Die unsre Liebe krönt, herunter winken.

    Theseus.

    Geh, Philostrat, und ruffe durch Athen

    Die Jugend auf zu Lustbarkeiten! wecke

    Den leichten muntern Geist der Frölichkeit.

    Die blasse Schwermuth sey zu Leichen-Zügen,

    Wozu sie besser taugt, von unserm Fest verbannt!

    Hippolita, ich buhlte mit dem Schwerdt

    Um dich, und unterm Lerm der wilden Waffen

    Gewann ich deine Gunst; doch froher soll

    Mit Pomp, Triumph und mitternächtlichen Spielen

    Der Tag, der uns vermählt, begangen werden. (Egeus, Hermia,

    Lysander und Demetrius treten auf.)

    Egeus.

    Glüklich sey Theseus, unser grosser Fürst.

    Theseus.

    Dank, edler Egeus! was bringst du uns Neues?

    Egeus.

    Voll Unmuth komm ich, Fürst, mit Klagen über

    Mein Kind, mit Klagen über Hermia—tritt

    Hervor, Demetrius!—dieser Mann, o Herr,

    Hat meinen Beyfall, sie zur Eh zunehmen—

    Lysander, steh' hervor! Und dieser Mann

    Hat meines Kindes Herz bezaubert. Ja du,

    Lysander, du, du gabst ihr Reime,

    Und wechseltest verstohlne Liebespfänder

    Mit meinem Kinde. Falsche Buhlerlieder

    Sangst du beym Mondschein mit verstellter Stimme

    Vor ihrem Fenster ab, und hast durch Bänder

    Von deinen Haaren, Ringe, Trödelwerke,

    Durch Naschereyen, Puppen, Blumensträusse

    Den Abdruk ihrer Phantasie gestohlen.

    Durch Ränke hast du meiner Tochter Herz

    Entwandt und den Gehorsam, welchen sie

    Mir schuldig ist, in Widerspenstigkeit

    Und schnöden Troz verkehrt. Wofern sie also,

    Mein königlicher Herr, nicht hier

    Vor Eurer Hoheit sich bequemen will,

    Dem Mann, den ich erkohr', die Hand zu geben;

    So sprech ich hier der Bürger von Athen

    Uraltes Vorrecht, und die Freyheit an,

    Mit ihr als meinem Eigenthum zu schalten:

    Und diß wird seyn, sie diesem Edelmanne,

    Wo nicht, dem Tod zu überliefern, wie

    In einem solchen Fall der Buchstab' des Gesezes

    Ausdrüklich lautet—

    Theseus.

    Was sagt Hermia

    Hiezu? bedenke dich, mein schönes Kind!

    In deinen Augen soll dein Vater

    Ein Gott, der Schöpfer deiner Schönheit, seyn.

    Mit ihm verglichen, bist du nichts als eine

    Von ihm in Wachs gebildete Figur,

    Die er, nachdem es ihm beliebt, erheben

    Und wieder tilgen kan. Demetrius ist

    Ein würdiger Edelmann.

    Hermia.

    Das ist Lysander auch.

    Theseus.

    Er ist es an sich selbst,

    Doch da ihm deines Vaters Stimme mangelt,

    So ist der andre würdiger anzusehen.

    Hermia.

    O! daß mein Vater nicht mit meinen Augen sieht.

    Theseus.

    Weit besser wär' es, deine Augen sähen

    Mit deines Vaters Klugheit.

    Hermia.

    —Eure Hoheit

    Vergebe mir. Ich weiß nicht, welche Macht

    Mir diese Kühnheit eingehaucht, noch wie

    Vor so viel Augen, meine Sittsamkeit

    Sich überwinden kan, für meine Neigung

    Das Wort zu nehmen. Aber, meldet mir,

    Mein Herr, das schlimmste, das mich treffen kan,

    Wenn ich mich weig're diesen Mann zu nehmen.

    Theseus.

    Den Tod zu sterben, oder Lebenslang

    Die männliche Gesellschaft abzuschwören.

    Befrage also deine Neigung, Hermia!

    Bedenke deine Jugend; Ist dein Blut

    So kühl, und hast du, wenn du deines Vaters

    Beschloßner Wahl dich nicht ergeben willst,

    Auch Muth genug, auf ewig eingeschleyert

    In eines öden Klosters trübe Schatten

    Verschlossen, eine unfruchtbare Schwester

    Dein Leben hinzuleben; traurige Hymnen

    Dem kalten Mond entgegenächzend—

    Dreymal beglükt, die, ihres Blutes Meister,

    Solch' eine keusche Pilgrimschaft bestehen!

    Doch irdischer glüklich ist die abgepflükte Rose,

    Als die am unvermählten Stoke welkend

    In einzelner Glükseligkeit, von niemand

    Gesehen, ungenossen, wächßt und blüht und stirbt.

    Hermia.

    So will ich wachsen, so verblüh'n und sterben,

    Mein Königlicher Herr, eh meine Freyheit

    Dem Joch des Manns sich unterwerffen soll,

    Deß unerwünschte Herrschaft meine Seele

    Nicht über sich erkennt.

    Theseus.

    Nimm dir Bedenkzeit,

    Und auf den nächsten Neuenmond, den Tag

    Der durch Hippolita mich glüklich macht,

    Bereite dich, nach deines Vaters Willen

    Dich dem Demetrius zu ergeben; oder

    Durch deinen Tod des Ungehorsams Frefel

    Zu büssen; oder an Dianens Altar

    Des Klosterlebens strenge Pflicht zu schwören.

    Demetrius.

    Erweiche, Schönste,
