This magical play comprises five acts in which Shakespeare makes us let our imagination run wild in a forest full of mithological creatures such as Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies. This plays focuses on two lovers, Hermia and Lisander who run away to a nearby wood in Athens. They are followed by Helena and Demetrius. The cause of their escape is that Hermia's father, Egeus, wants her to marry someone she doesn't love. Meanwhile, Oberon is aware of this and decides to play a trick on the lovers by pouring some sort of love potion in their ears. The result is a real love confusion among these fours characters while all the fascinating creatures have a good time watching them arguing and having trouble with each other. Finally love is restored.
Lysander : Ay, by my life; and never did desire to see thee more; therefore be out of hope, of question, of doubt; be certain, nothing truer: tis no jest; that I do hate thee, and love Helena.
Hermia: O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love; what, have you come by night, and stolen my love's heart from him?
Helena : Fine i' faith: have you no modesty, no maiden shame, no touch of bashfulness? What, will you tear impatient answers from my gentle tongue? Fie, fie, you counterfeit, you puppet, you.
