Outside Reading Post 24

For today's regular blog post, I want to just comment on a section of the play, "A Midsummer's Night Dream." This play was originally written by William Shakespeare, and then used to be acted out in a movie like fashion. One particular scene that I would like to focus on today would be the scene where Puck, a fairy under control by Oberon, uses the red flower to make Lysander fall in love with Hermia. In my opinion, I thought this scene was actually funny. I thought it was interesting that the plot would be affected so greatly by this one tiny mistake by Puck, it led to other complications with Lysander's true love, and also Hermia's true love. This play depicted how love affects human hearts and what love can do to human emotion. I really enjoyed that scene because of the fact that it was a small mistake, but with big consequences, which in turn actually made the play more interesting to watch anyways.
