A Midsummer's Night Dream was the play I hated intensely all throughout High School. It was like the song that one kid ALWAYS sang without fail year after year at the Talent Show. We had to read it for Drama class, we had to read it for our after school book club (don't hate), we had to read it for our AP English Lit class, we had to read it a lot.

It's been a few years since High School, though, and now that the play isn't being shoved down my throat by force I find myself kinda missing it. I notice references in TV or movies and jump with nerd-like glee, and realize that maybe people actually like this play by CHOICE. I can see that now.

The only Shakespeare play I would ever willingly read during exam period. Love can be unpredictable and life always is, but there is no need to be held in suspense or tenesness in the green fores - imagination is an escape from reality. Everything will pass eventually, and is not always as it seems, so what fools these mortals be for worrying!
