             A MidSummerNight Dream One of Shakespearebetter plays, A MidSummerNight Dream incorporates 4 plots in one. It intertwines these four plots without mixing the characters or the themes. They come out of the blue with all different themes that somehow lead to the forest every time. The forest is enchanted with a sense of lawlessness and and it all traces back to Adam and Eve. The title of this play has to do with the summer and how it brings about the good vibes in people. The four stories all happen somewhere in the woods where either the parents or society cannot touch the people who are bothered by the outside world. This quote, And in the wood, where often you and I, upon faint primrose beds were wont lie, Emptying our bosoms of their counsel sweet, There my Lysander and myself shall meet, and thence from Athens turn away our eyes to seek new friends and stranger companies.We must starve our sight from lovers; food till morrow deep midnight (Act 1 Scene 1 Lines 214-223), explains that the woods are a sanctuary where people go at midnight to get away from society who burdens then. This story is between Lysander and Hermia. Hermiafather doesnwant her to marry Lysander but they go behind his back and go to the woods to get married. The next story we see is Puck and the fairies. Puck is very mischievous and goes to the forest because of its enchanted nature. We see the real Puck in this quote, I am that merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon and make him smile when I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, neighing in likeness of a filly foal; and sometimes lurk I in a gossipbowl (Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 43-47). Oberon goes to the forest to relax and Puck winds up playing tricks on her. That very time I saw, but thou couldst not, flying between the cold moon and the earth Cupid, all armed. a certain aim he took at a fair vestal throned by the west, and loosed his love shaft smartly from his bow as it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts (Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 155-160).
