Description

Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that celebrates happiness, yet also acknowledges its fragility. Tom Bishop explores the complexities of this design in his thoughtful guide to the play. The variety of language and character in A Midsummer Night's Dream has been praised for its pleasant and happy effect on readers. However, Bishop notes that the play's brightness is tempered by shadows - not just the unhappiness that can occur, but also the fragility of happiness itself. The gift of happiness may be fleeting, maintained only by good fortune. This thoughtful guide to A Midsummer Night's Dream invites readers to consider the play's nuanced portrayal of human life and its exploration of the nature of happiness.
