William Shakespeare is truly an amazing and most
talented writers I have ever known. Another story of his which showed a lot of
skills and imagination. A Midsummer Night's Dream, a story which tackles
different kinds of genres, comedy, romance, and fantasy. I had really fun
reading the story. The themes of the story was about difficulties in love,
magic and the relationships between fantasy and reality and between environment
and reality.
What can be the most awaited part of all the
readers? Of course it's the climax. The part of the story where the highest
point of tension is read. This is where the struggle is found and how the
characters will act to this struggle. In short, this is the BEST PART OF THE
STORY!
For our Informal theme this week, we were asked to
post what we think is the climax of Shakespeare's piece " A
Midsummer Night's Dream".. First of all, when I searched for the climax of
the story in the net, it says that it doesn't have a real climax. " In the strictest sense, there is no real climax,
as the conflicts of the play are all resolved swiftly by magical means"
But for me the climax is found in Activity 3 scene
2. This part focused on the confusion among the four Athenian lovers. Now that both men have been magically induced to
switch their love from Hermia to Helena, the vanities and insecurities of both
women become far more pronounced. Helena’s low self-esteem prevents her from
believing that either man could really be in love with her.
The two Athenian men end up falling in love with
Helena instead of Hermia because of the potion. The young men fought each other
for Helena's love making Hermia jealous. Afterwards the young girls fought
through physical test but then turned out to be an emotional test. Good thing
Puck was there to make peace with all the fighting going on. Puck’s magical ventriloquism is what prevents Lysander
and Demetrius from killing each other. And thaat is the climax for mee. :))
