Egeus enters, followed by his daughter Hermia, her beloved Lysander, and her suitor Demetrius. Egeus tells Theseus that Hermia refuses to marry Demetrius, wanting instead to marry Lysander. He asks for the right to punish Hermia with death if she refuses to obey.Theseus agrees that Hermia's duty is to obey her father, and threatens her with either entering a nunnery or marrying the man her father chooses. Lysander protests, but is overruled by the law. He and Hermia than decide to flee by night into the woods surrounding Athens, where they can escape the law and get married. They tell their plan to Helena, a girl who is madly in love with Demetrius. Hoping to gain favor with Demetrius, Helena decides to tell him about the plan.Some local artisans and workmen have decided to perform a play for Theseus as a way to celebrate his wedding. They choose Pyramus and Thisbe for their play, and meet to assign the roles. Nick Bottom gets the role of Pyramus, and Flute takes the part of Thisbe. They agree to meet the next night in the woods to rehearse the play.Robin Goodfellow, a puck, meets a fairy who serves Queen Titania. He tells the fairy that his King Oberon is in the woods, and that Titania should avoid Oberon because they will quarrel again. However, Titania and Oberon soon arrive and begin arguing about a young boy Titania has stolen and is caring for. Oberon demands that she give him the boy, but she refuses.Oberon decides to play a trick on Titania and put some pansy juice on her eyes. The magical juice will make her fall in love with first person she sees upon waking up. Soon after Puck is sent away to fetch the juice, Oberon overhears Demetrius and Helena in the woods.Demetrius deserts Helena in the forest, leaving her alone. Oberon decides that he will change this situation, and commands Robin to put the juice onto Demetrius's eyes when he is sleeping. He then finds Titania and drops the juice onto her eyelids.

They constantly ruin the lines of the play and mispronounce the words. Out of fear of censorship, they decide to make the play less realistic. Therefore the lion is supposed to announce that he is not a lion, but only a common man.

When Bottom returns to his troupe, they run away out of fear. Bottom then comes across Titania, and succeeds in waking her up. She falls in love with him due to the juice on her eyes, and takes him with her.Lysander and Demetrius prepare to fight one another for Helena.

Theseus, duke of Athens, is preparing for his marriage toHippolyta, queen of the Amazons, with a four-day festival of pomp andentertainment. He commissions his Master of the Revels, Philostrate, to findsuitable amusements for the occasion. Egeus, an Athenian nobleman, marchesinto Theseus's court with his daughter, Hermia, and two young men, Demetriusand Lysander. Egeus wishes Hermia to marry Demetrius (who loves Hermia),but Hermia is in love with Lysander and refuses to comply. Egeus asks for thefull penalty of law to fall on Hermia's head if she flouts her father's will. Theseusgives Hermia until his wedding to consider her options, warning her thatdisobeying her father's wishes could result in her being sent to a convent or evenexecuted. Nonetheless, Hermia and Lysander plan to escape Athens thefollowing night and marry in the house of Lysander's aunt, some seven leaguesdistant from the city. They make their intentions known to Hermia's friendHelena, who was once engaged to Demetrius and still loves him even though hejilted her after meeting Hermia. Hoping to regain his love, Helena tellsDemetrius of the elopement that Hermia and Lysander have planned. At theappointed time, Demetrius stalks into the woods after his intended bride and herlover; Helena follows behind him.In these same woods are two very different groups of characters. The first is aband of fairies, including Oberon, the fairy king, and Titania, his queen, who hasrecently returned from India to bless the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta.The second is a band of Athenian craftsmen rehearsing a play that they hope toperform for the duke and his bride. Oberon and Titania are at odds over a youngIndian prince given to Titania by the prince's mother; the boy is so beautiful thatOberon wishes to make him a knight, but Titania refuses. Seeking revenge,Oberon sends his merry servant, Puck, to acquire a magical flower, the juice ofwhich can be spread over a sleeping person's eyelids to make that person fall inlove with the first thing he or she sees upon waking. Puck obtains the flower, andOberon tells him of his plan to spread its juice on the sleeping Titania's eyelids.Having seen Demetrius act cruelly toward Helena, he orders Puck to spreadsome of the juice on the eyelids of the young Athenian man. Puck encountersLysander and Hermia; thinking that Lysander is the Athenian of whom Oberonspoke, Puck afflicts him with the love potion. Lysander happens to see Helenaupon awaking and falls deeply in love with her, abandoning Hermia. As the nightprogresses and Puck attempts to undo his mistake, both Lysander and Demetriusend up in love with Helena, who believes that they are mocking her. Hermiabecomes so jealous that she tries to challenge Helena to a fight. Demetrius andLysander nearly do fight over Helena's love, but Puck confuses them bymimicking their voices, leading them apart until they are lost separately in theforest.When Titania wakes, the first creature she sees is Bottom, the most ridiculousof the Athenian craftsmen, whose head Puck has mockingly transformed into thatof an ass. Titania passes a ludicrous interlude doting on the ass-headed weaver.Eventually, Oberon obtains the Indian boy, Puck spreads the love potion onLysander's eyelids, and by morning all is well. Theseus and Hippolyta discoverthe sleeping lovers in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married--Demetrius now loves Helena, and Lysander now loves Hermia. After the groupwedding, the lovers watch Bottom and his fellow craftsmen perform their play, afumbling, hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. When the play iscompleted, the lovers go to bed; the fairies briefly emerge to bless the sleepingcouples with a protective charm and then disappear.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of the many comedies written by William Shakespeare. It was written around 1595 and first published in Shakespeare’s first quarto in 1600. The exact reason for why this play was produced has been lost to time; some historians theorize that it could have been written for an aristocratic wedding, or for Queen Elizabeth I to celebrate the feast of St. John. The play opens with Theseus, Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, planning the celebration of their marriage. During their visit to Athens four guests—Demetrius, Lysander, Helena, and Hermia—are trying to find their own spouses and to follow each other into the woods. Also entering the woods are six actors practicing a play for the duke and his new wife. Unbeknownst to all, they have also entered the realm of the fairy kingdom, ruled by King Oberon and Queen Titania and inhabited by the mischievous Puck. This Standard Ebooks edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.

Among the most enduring poetry of all time, William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets address such eternal themes as love, beauty, honesty, and the passage of time. Written primarily in four-line stanzas and iambic pentameter, Shakespeare’s sonnets are now recognized as marking the beginning of modern love poetry. The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations. Known as “The Bard of Avon,” William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare’s innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.
