Blog Prompt: Midsummer Night's Dream

We have discussed the similarity of the two Helenas from MND and All's Well (specifically, their stubborn pursuit of men who do not reciprocate their desires; their bestial love imagery), and the similarity of the opening conditions of Lear and MND (in which two different fathers cut off their daughters and wield their paternal authority despotically). For this final blog post of the semester, please draw another link between Midsummer Night's Dream and any other play we have read this semester.

A successful post will use carefully-culled textual evidence from both works and draw a parallel that isn't already apparent. Word count should be between 200 and 300 words. Post before Monday, December 2.

And have a great holiday! Visualize with gusto!
