A Midsummer Night's Dream


            A Midsummer Night's dream is a play written by William Shakespeare.  It is believed that it was written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. The play also include the love stories of the four Athenian teenagers. They were manipulated by the fairies in the forest. There were some actors who also went in the woods too, to have a practice for a play. They say that this story is confusing, but thanks God I was able to understand the story.
            
               We all know that every story have a part where the it gets more exciting and this part is called the climax. Of the story doesn't have a climax, it will be boring to read or to just even watch it.For me the climax of the Midsummer Night's Dream is when the four Athenian boys and girls went to the woods. Then Oberon heard the conversation of Demetrius and Helena. After hearing the conversation of Demetrius and Helene, he commanded Puck to pour a love potion on the eyelid of Demetrius. It didn't go as what is planned by Oberon, because Puck poured the potion into Lysander's eyelid instead of Demetrius'. When Lysander woke up, he saw Helena and followed her. Then Hermia woke up and found out that Lysander is not there anymore. Then there came a time that the potion was placed into the eyelid of Demetrius and he fell in love with Helena. Helena thought that Lysander and Demetrius were only making fun of her. To the point that she and Hermia already fought.

                The reason why I think this is the climaz is because of the excitement I felt when i was already reading this part. The things also got more complicated in this part of the story. There are twists involved here including the fact that the two men fell in love with Helena when at first they were chasing for Hermia. It's like this is were the tables turned.
