All You Have to do is Dream

            A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that depicts the difficulties of love, magic, dreams, fantasy and the reality. For me, the climax of the play is when Puck had mistaken in pouring the love juice into a man wearing an Athenian cloth and when the four lovers are at the height of their confusion.


           When Puck poured the love juice into the eyelids of Lysander, the turning point or the said climax is already starting. And when Lysander woke up, he saw Helena and fell in love with her suddenly. Helena ran because she thought that Lysander is only mocking her because he knew that Lysander really loves Hermia. Lysander chase Helena and when Hermia woke up, she saw that Lysander was not there and she find Lysander in the woods. Puck saw their situation and not to worsen the situation, he decided to imitate the voices of the four lovers. And at last, they found each other. Both Demetrius and Lysander are pursuing Helena, and both Helena and Hermia are amazed at this.  The guys go off to find a place to fight, and Hermia threatens Helena with a physical fight as well.  They all run off . Puck and Oberon are left to trick them into the right areas to sort it out.


          For me, that is the climax of the story because it made me more interested reading the whole story. And if that scene was not included in the story, there would be no "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
