This play is ass! I am such a Midsummer Night's Dream hater. The plot changes on a whim because of all the love potions and spells and all that abritrary nonsense, no character's decision reliably leads to any predictable outcome because of the fairies, it's just a disjointed mess. Why should I care what any character does or thinks when they spend half the play either under a spell, or in a dream, or believing they're in a dream but they're not actually...it just sucks.

Thou shalt not pass unfair bias comment on school books (one day I may be brave enough to re-read them and give a fair unbias comment...but don't hold your breath) but I will try and rate them as fairly as possible

"And sleep that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company."
Reading this stole me awhile from mine own company, and will now have me saying "Hold or cut bow strings" every time I'm supposed to meet up with somebody. Because it just sounds cool. Anyways, I love Helena.

so famous that i feel kind of weird rating this with the same system that i rate anything else? but a lot more fun to read by myself than in middle school. i was surprised how much i understood without looking at the sidebar (my version had a "plain english" side) one of my favorite things about reading is going hey look at how people have had similar thoughts across ages and some of those thoughts are definitely. madness of the night and woods and submission and delirium

Shakespeare knows how to write a messy love storylines with a lot of drama.
