"A midsummer night s dream" written by William Shakespeare

In the comedy "A midsummer night s dream" written by William Shakespeare during the
years 1595-1596, the discrepancy between the real (civil) world is captured, in which all the
actions and characters are guided by a logical thread specific to human reasoning and the
fantastic one in which everything becomes enchanting, ineffable, everything gets extravagant
and the limits there is no such thing as a perfect dream from which you feel you will never
wake up again. Shakespeare deals here with the issues eternally found in his work, LOVELY
using a humor full of imagination, fantastic elements, detailed descriptions of a world beyond
the clouds that cover the real world. The action is divided into two planes, reality and fantasy
(the dream). Of the real plan are the 4 lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. Like
some adolescents who barely discover their feelings, for the first time meeting the pure and
naive feeling of love, they swear love and faith for each other for an eternity even though
generally all 4 are just children. The play begins with the first scene where Demetrius and
Lysander meet at the royal palace in front of Duke Thezeu (ruler of Athens) to decide which
of them is more worthy of Hermye's love sent forcibly in front of the royal captains by his
father Aegean. There we are witnessing the first conflict in the eternal and fiery battle
between the two men Lysander and Demetrius.
The craftsmen who want to be on stage, to play as well as they can play some people not at all
trained in the theater and implicitly the technique are part of both plans. The desire to present
to the Duke and the Duchess a play makes them enter indirectly into the fantasy world of
dream and fairy tale where anything is possible and everything seems so real is just an
illusion. The one who pushes the whole action is Oberon himself who is a spirit that watches
over the action that takes place in the enchanted forest (the place where all the action is
gradually pushed into the fantasy world). With its enchanted blossom, Oberon wants to regain
his long-lost love for Titanium, but his servant or puck manages to confuse the spells and
especially the people, which has the consequence of everything that follows. The fact that
Titania gets to fall in love with the artisan Fundulea transformed by Puck's spell into a donkey
is the best argument that can strengthen the claim that the craft group is part of both plans.
The notion of theater in theater given the desire of the craftsmen to play in front of the
masters of Athens further strengthens the fusion of the two worlds and especially the whole
dynamism of the play. The group of fairies and elves represents the fantastic plan being
always in conflict and representing the two armies whose leaders are even Titania and
Oberon, the latter two also being part of the fantastic plan. The spirited Puck is just a
"wandering merry at night" always wanting to explore the gloom of the enchanted forest by
contacting both the elves controlled by the master or Oberon and the fairies whose master is
Titania. Like a pimpong ball, he walks from one side to another always eager for adventures,
looking at the spectacle created in the enchanted forest, the Indian Child of Titanium is also a
very important character in the fairy world. It is the most erotic piece of the English
playwright William Shakespeare as the theme of love is treated with tenacity and pain
bringing this feeling to the rank of war. The eroticism of Shakespeare's play is not only given
by the presence of the pulsations of carnal love in the group of lovers, but it is also given by
the 2 leading couples Oberon and Titania, Thezeu and Hypolita, who hide a very difficult
sexual history, we talk here by people who represent omnipotent forces and for whom the
feeling of love has become more of a normative act than something spiritual. In general, most
Shakespeare couples end up negatively because they could not cope with the overwhelming
feeling of love. The love in the universe of Shakespeare has a pure form but also a gross,
heavy form, often becoming for the person who encounters it a burden very difficult to carry.
Shakespeare's love torments you, Shakespeare's love overwhelms you, Shakespeare's love
means madness, creeps, fear, fear, war, blood, death, everything has to be won and it is
compulsory for anyone to emerge from this ongoing battle.
Although the Shakespearian universe fairy tale is always given by the construction of fantastic
characters who have nothing to do with the world plan this time in the play "The dream of a
summer night" the two worlds are intertwined. The merging of the 2 worlds creates a real
nightmare for both the viewer and the characters in the tracks. I return to the idea in which I
argue that the craftsmen are the ones who take the whole action because they are the only
ones who, more or less conscious, enter the real world into the fantastic and again into the real
world and then again into the fantastic one, becoming protagonists. the fantastic dream that
sometimes turns into a nightmare. Everything is like a ping pong match because the contact
the craftsmen have for the first time with the fantastic world is when they meet to rehearse the
show to be presented at the palace of Thezeu Cree and his Amazonian wife Hypolita even in
the enchanted forest controlled by Oberon and the servant or the spirited Puck. Also, the
group of the 4 lovers Hermia, Lisander, Demetrius and Helena get in touch with the fantastic
world, being enchanted by the Oberon crayon and the Puck spirit. What is truly impressive in
Shakespeare's play is the subtlety of the permanent presence of the fantasy world right from
the beginning of the play in the "perimeters" of the real world. We can see this fact even if we
look over the names of certain characters present in Shakespeare's play who refer from the
beginning to a fictional universe.
The Names of important characters and the references:Theseus - is an imaginary
character from Greek mythology, warrior and Athenian hero, being best known for killing the
Minotaur, a ferocious beast of half man and half bull, who lived under the palace of King
Minos of Knossos, with the help of Ariadne . Theseus was the son of the Athenian king
Aegean. 
Hypolite - In Greek mythology, Hipolita (Greek Ἱππολύτη) was a queen of the Amazons. She
had a magic belt that was given to her by her father Ares, the god of war. The belt was a belt
that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons. She was accidentally killed by her sister
Penthesilea.
Oberon - (sometimes also written as Auberon) is a fairy king in medieval and Renaissance
literature. He is best known as a character in William Shakespeare's play The Dream of a
Summer Night, in which he is King Consort of Titanium, Queen of Fairies.
Demetrius- (reference to the ancient goddess Demetra) Demetra is a mythical deity but also
one who had a significant cult in ancient Greece; indeed, the legends of Demetra and its
places of worship were spread throughout the Hellenistic civilization, evolving into a complex
character in Hellenistic perception, as evidenced by the list of epithets associated with it.
However, its role in mythology is secondary. She is the daughter of Cronos and Rhea; is part
of the two divine generation, that of the Olympian gods. Its best known myth is the abduction
of her daughter and Zeus, Persephone, by Hades, the brother of Demetrius, the god of the
world of the dead. This myth offers a mythological explanation for the seasons and is the
basis of the main feast of Demetra, called the Mysteries of Eleusis.
Helena- (reference to the ancient goddess Helena) Flavia Iulia Helena, known as Helena
Augusta or Saint Helena (ca. 248-ca. 329 in Nicomedia, today Izmit, Turkey) was the mother
of Emperor Constantine the Great.
