These updated editions of classic plays feature new cover art along with the complete text of each work, full explanatory notes, scene-by-scene plot summaries, a key to famous lines and phrases, and illustrations from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books. Sometimes you don't understand your teacher, your textbooks make no sense, and you have to read sixteen chapters by tomorrow. Taking pity on Helena, Oberon instructs Puck to put some love juice in Demetrius' eyes at a moment when Helena will be the first person he sees upon waking.The "translation" is printed directly opposite the original text and makes straight reading of the play very easy indeed - no more turning to the back of the book for notes, or constantly referring to footnotes.

Your purchase supports More Than Words, a nonprofit job training program for youth, empowering youth to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. Now that Oberon has won the Indian boy from Titania, he is willing to forget their argument, and the two, reunited, dance off together so they can bless Theseus' marriage.

Annotation: Presents the original text of Shakespeare's play side by side with a modern version, with marginal notes and explanations and full descriptions of each character. Quotes by Theme: Quotes organised by Shakespeare's main themes, such as love, death, tyranny, honor, and fate. However if you have not already purchased this, the Cliffs Complete edition does the same thing only slightly better, making this addition unnecessary. While they discuss their relationship, Egeus enters with his daughter, Hermia, and her two suitors, Lysander and Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena).

Now both Lysander and Demetrius are in love with Helena, adding much to Puck's amusement at the foolishness of mortals. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.

Lilydale Books acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, work and learn.Views among Shakespeare’s other notable works, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is celebrated for its light-hearted and fantastical nature. My son said this was useful to read for a quick review before the test, but he definitely recommends reading the actual play first, don’t just rely on this version! That being said it was a helpful source of additional insight into the characters, summary and analysis. Please leave these SparkNotes Editors as the second author and the author of the original work as the last author.
