Mistakes can Change Everything

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play by William Shakespeare. It is believed that it was written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies that inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play, which is categorized as a comedy, is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world. 

For me, the climax of this play is when Puck mistakenly poured the love juice on the eyes of Lysander which is really for Demetrius.  There the conflict of the story starts. When the love juice was poured into somebody’s eyes, he will deeply fall in love on the first thing or person he will see. Lysander fell in love with Helena immediately. Helena then feels that Lysander is just mocking her because she witnesses the love of Hermia and Lysander with each other. There, Demetrius and Lysander fight to win Helena’s love. Helena and Hermia also fight.


I enjoyed this story very much not just because this plays one of Shakespearians Masterpieces but also this play gave me morals that I can apply in my daily life. I learned in this story that we must fight for our love ones especially when we on the right side no matter what happen. I also learned that love conquers everything. Someone will do everything to prove his love. This play is comedy which is one of the reasons why I enjoyed this play.
