Summary: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare is a classic play, likely written in the late 16th century. This comedic work interweaves the lives of various characters, including lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius, and explores themes of love, magic, and transformation, richly populated by both human and fairy characters. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Theseus and Hippolyta, who are preparing for their impending marriage. The plot quickly thickens with the entry of Egeus, who seeks the Duke's assistance in compelling his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, the suitor of her father's choice, despite her love for Lysander. In a pact to escape Athenian law and pursue their love, Lysander and Hermia plan to flee into the woods, but their plans are complicated by the magical involvement of the fairy king Oberon and his mischievous servant Puck, who initiates a chaotic chain of events that further entangles the desires and relationships of all involved.
