A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1597. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals), who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.
The play consists of four interconnecting plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta, which is set simultaneously in the woodland and in the realm of Fairyland, under the light of the moon.
The play opens with Hermia, who is in love with Lysander, not wanting to submit to her father Egeus' demand that she wed Demetrius, whom he has arranged for her to marry. Helena meanwhile pines unrequitedly for Demetrius. Enraged, Egeus invokes an ancient Athenian law before Duke Theseus, whereby a daughter must marry the suitor chosen by her father, or else face death. Theseus offers her another choice: lifelong chastity while worshiping the goddess Diana as a nun.
Peter Quince and his fellow players plan to put on a play for the wedding of the Duke and the Queen, "the most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe". Quince reads the names of characters and bestows them to the players. Nick Bottom, who is playing the main role of Pyramus, is over-enthusiastic and wants to dominate others by suggesting himself for the characters of Thisbe, the Lion, and Pyramus at the same time. He would also rather be a tyrant and recites some lines of Ercles. Quince ends the meeting with "at the Duke's oak we meet".
The fairies then disappear, and Theseus and Hippolyta arrive on the scene, during an early morning hunt. They wake the lovers and, since Demetrius does not love Hermia any more, Theseus overrules Egeus's demands and arranges a group wedding. The lovers decide that the night's events must have been a dream. After they all exit, Bottom awakes, and he too decides that he must have experienced a dream "past the wit of man". In Athens, Theseus, Hippolyta and the lovers watch the six workmen perform Pyramus and Thisbe. Given a lack of preparation, the performers are so terrible playing their roles to the point where the guests laugh as if it were meant to be a comedy, and everyone retires to bed. Afterwards, Oberon, Titania, Puck, and other fairies enter, and bless the house and its occupants with good fortune. After all other characters leave, Puck "restores amends" and suggests to the audience that what they just experienced might be nothing but a dream (hence the name of the play).Mit Shakespearedramen ging es mir wie mit Schokoladenkeksen. Einmal probiert, konnte ich einfach nicht mehr aufhören. Eins nach dem anderen habe ich verschlungen.
Wie meisterhaft sind seine Dramen aufgebaut -- Wie perfekt deutet jede Exposition das Geschehen der folgenden Akte an! Wie wundervoll die Sprache, die Bilder. Die Werke dieses genialsten aller Dichter sind einfach traumhaft und wohl auch deshalb am häufigsten gespielt und verfilmt.
Besonders das Stück, das in der Johannisnacht spielt: Im Sommernachtstraum tummeln sich in der lauen, wundersamen Nacht allerlei Gestalten: edle Paare aus der höfischen Welt, einfache Handwerker, zauberhafte Wesen aus dem Reich der Elfen. Shakespeare verwebt diese unterschiedlichen Personenkreise überaus kunstvoll miteinander. Knüpft hier eine Verbindung zwischen zwei Liebenden, knotet dort eine Verwirrung in die Beziehung und löst am Ende alle verworrenen Fäden mit genialem Geschick zum Wohlgefallen aller wieder auf.
Über 400 Jahre ist dieser Traum um verwirrte Liebende alt, und doch hat er nichts von seiner strahlenden Schönheit eingebüßt. Auch heute erfreut Puck, der Kobold, uns mit seinem Schabernack, läßt uns die anrührende Unbeholfenheit der Handwerker herzlich lachen, bangen wir mit den Liebenden, daß sich die richtigen Paare zusammenfinden mögen.
Der Sommernachtstraum, eine Komödie über die Liebe, ist so voller turbulent komischer Szenen und wundersamer Einfälle, daß man zunächst gar nicht bemerkt, welch zynische Auffassung hier zugrunde liegt: Die Menschen sind den Launen der durch und durch amoralischen Elfenwesen wehrlos ausgeliefert. Und die Liebe ist nichts als Narrheit. Trieb, der nicht zu kontrollieren ist -- schon gar nicht mit Vernunft!
Egal! Am Ende bleibt's ein wunderschöner Traum, den man am liebsten gleich noch einmal träumen möchte. --Anne HauschildTraditionally seen as one of Shakespeare's more romantic and enchanting plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream has more recently been seen as a darker and more sinister play than generations of schoolchildren have ever imagined. The play has usually been seen as a comical tale with confused identities and the fickleness of youthful love, as the young lovers, Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena escape parental control and the "sharp Athenian law" of their elders by eloping into the forest outside the city. Unfortunately they stumble into civil war in fairyland, where King Oberon and Queen Titania fight over possession of a beautiful young Indian "changeling" boy. The appearance of the "rude mechanicals", a group of Athenian workers, including the weaver Nick Bottom, compounds the confusion. Chaos, confusion and "shaping fantasies" reign before the final settlement of the play, but underneath all the hilarity many critics have discerned more ambivalent attitudes towards coercive parental control, bestial sexuality and the destructive power of desire. These approaches in no way detract from the exquisite lyricism of many sections of the play, but make it a more complex and effective comedy than has often been appreciated. --Jerry Brotton
