A Mid-Summer Nights Dream Climax



           This is an ugly resolution to the whole love-juice situation. Demetrius and Lysander would've fought over Hermia anyway, but now they fight over Helena, which inspires Hermia to try and fight Helena. During this row in the woods, some pretty harsh words are thrown around, and ugly things get brought up from the past . It's especially hard to hear the girls say things like this when you know they aren't under any kind of spell. Titania's love for Bottom is climactic insofar as it lets us know there will be a turning point. Eventually, Oberon will have Titania released from the spell (once he gets the Indian child) and likely he'll have everything fixed with the lovers by then, too. Until then, we can enjoy the madness at the peak of the play.

        The play midsummer night's dream is one of shakespeare's written play. It is about a dream happened in the time of a midsummer. Its genre was  a comedy at the same time romance. This is somehow different from other shakespearean plays.

         A story cannot be called a story if it doesn't have a climax. For me the climax of the Midsummer night's dream is when Hermia and Lysander planned to escape and go away. Hermia told their plan to Helena and Helena told it to Demetrius. Helena thought that Demetrius will be hurt and surrender but it didn't happen instead Demetrius followed Hermia and Lysander. Then the four athenians went to the forest. Oberon heard Demetrius and Helena arguing so he told Puck to pour love juice. Since Oberon don't know the name of Demetrius he described him as the man who wears an athenian clothes. when Puck went out, he first saw Lysander and Lysander also wears an athenian clothes so Puck poured love juice on Lysander's eye lids. Lysander fell in love with Helena and Hermia thought that Lysander left him. On the other side, Puck also put love juice on Titania's eye lids as a revenge of Oberon to Titania. When Lysander fell in love with Helena they fight with each other and cause a ramble. Oberon told puck to undo the love spell by getting a magical plant to undo all he have done.

        I chose this as Climax because this part of the story has the more excitement and tense. It makes the reading to think what will happen next.
