Suspense is created in the story by having the reader ask, "What is going to happen next with this?" Shakespeare always finds a way to lead the reader to the edge of their seats, begging to find out what happens. I am sure the scenery jumping around a little may have made the reader a little more eager to keep going on and find out exactly what goes on. A good example of mystery in the play would in Act I where you wonder if Hermia and Demetrius will work things out. The perfect dilemma to that would also bein Act I, where you figure out that Hermia and Lysander have a thing for each other and vow to run off secretly and get married.
The play makes good use of the element of surprise. The surprises are not really achieved fairly though, since Puck uses his / her "magic dust" to make things happen. They do serve a significant purpose though, and that purpose is to tie the whole story together. The havoc created forms a peaceful end, and the surprises are not meant to pull the reader away. The only weakness of the play could be considered as the whole story with Nick Bottom's play for the king.
Overall, the elements of the play consist mostly of the rules of Murphy's Law, "everything that can go wrong will go wrong." This domino effect (or snowball effect, whichever your preference), makes the story very suspenseful. You never truly know what will happen next until to continue to read.
Characterization.
Characterization is a list of qualities in a character. Along with many plot lines, the play also has multiple characters. I will now describe the characteristics of each of the main characters, categorizing them as flat (only one or two major traits), minor / stock, our round (many-sided and changing). I will also give support to my categorizations, explaining if the presentation of the characters is direct or indirect.
The first character that I think was important in the story is Helena. She really thinks about love in a mindset nature, saying that it is in the mind and not in the eyes.
