Another occurring theme throughout the play is dream versus reality.
Shakespeare draws the line between dream and reality very thin, and the only.
people who enter both worlds are us, the audience. We are led in and out of the.
mortal world by immortal objects, such as the "fairies.".
They are there to engage us into the story and get us involved. .
Puck and Oberon are the main causes of the problems, and being fairies, no-one can.
see them except the audience, which successfully draws us in. .
In the play you often will find the fairies and the mortals in the same scene at the.
same time, but the mortals cannot see them creating alot of "dramatic irony.".
We as the audience will know the plot and happenings of the story before the actors.
will, making us feel delighted we are involved in the plot.
The whole play takes place between two settings. Athens town, and a wood near.
Athens. .
The wood is where all the magical antics happen and take place, you could even.
call the woods the "dream world", leaving the Athens town to reality.

Hermia, Egeus" daughter is being forced to marry Demetrius in whom she does not.
love, and so flees to the woods with her true love Lyasander to find a small town.
outside of Athenian law to get married.
So we are quickly led out of Athens and into the "dream world" into the woods.

fairy called Puck, and his love potion.
It is made from the juice of a flower that was struck with one of Cupid's misfired.
arrows; it is used by the fairies to wreak romantic havoc throughout Acts II, III, and.
IV. Because the meddling fairies are careless with the love potion, the situation of.
the young Athenian lovers becomes increasingly chaotic and confusing (Demetrius.
and Lysander are magically compelled to transfer their love from Hermia to.
