Infused with the magical world of fairies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of the early comedies
of Shakespeare about the entwined destinies of four lovers amid the spirit of nature. There is a
complex interlocking of plots as the play features the adventures of two young Athenian couples
who come to the woods as a part of their plan to elope from their houses. Rich with supernatural
elements and creative imagination, the play gives lyrical expressions to themes lIke love, dream and
blessings of nature on mankind—all in a lighter vein.
