1: read through
2: initial thoughts
I don't really understand the language but I like the overall story line and find it very comical, I like the use of the actors as this adds a comedic factor and also puck and Oberon casting spells on people is also a funny thing which adds to the scene
The relation ship between the four Athenians is a bit confusing but I enjoyed the melodrama
I think I need to decipher the language more and understand the meaning behind each line before I think about anything else. I'm t was easier to infer how to act or react to a situation than I thought and the language was easier than I expected but still hard
Fast paced, lots of transitions and short scenes which tire you as you watch it
3: work out the themes
The themes are comedy as many of the characters such as the actors and puck and very comedic, romance as the idea of a wedding and the four Athenians relationship is a four way love hate relationship which does add some comedy in a melodramatic way.
It showed it themes well and this stood out a lot
It is a patriarchal society as her father chooses her husband
