What did you think about Theseus’ quote? I think that without this quote the play wouldn’t really have been summed up, it explained a lot about what was happening. 2. Is there any truth to the quote, considering what happened in the play? I think that there is truth to the quote because it tells what happened overall in the play 3. How does this quote sum up the play in general? It sums up the play because it explains all that happened throughout the play in a short, sweet and to the point way. 4. How is the play structured? The play has a major theme to it with a lot of returning patterns to what happens. 5. How does the overall structure of the play contribute to its being put into the “comedy” category? I think that it is put in the comedy category because with all that happened in this play, most of it is ironic or in a way already happened. 6. What did you think of the play? I think this way a very good play, it has a good story line, that will probably never in a million years happen in real life. Kortney Mann 1. What did you think about Theseus’ quote?

Mr. Shank would not be very happy! :) The quote does sum up the play in that the problems of love between Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius was not really real in that the people falling in love with the wrong person was at the fault of magical juice. Which, is not very realistic. So, the quote is saying that because of these fairy tales and fantasies, people can go or are crazy. I thought the play was pretty good, in consideration that it was kind of confusing with the play within a play. But, besides that, the characters were entertaining, even with their grammatical errors! I thought the Bottom and Co. were very funny in the way that they acted during their performance and when they were just talking with each other. Puck was also entertaining because he was the one who funked up with the magic juice incident and then had to go back and tell Oberon and fix it. But, at least it all ended well! ~Sarah L.
