"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a comedy work written by the British playwright Shakespeare in his youth. The story tells the story of emotional conflicts caused by magical "flower juice" and how the conflicts are finally resolved and the lovers finally get married. Lysander and Demetrius, two young men in the city of Athens, fell in love with the young woman Hermia at the same time. Hermia loved Lysander deeply. In order to oppose her father's arranged marriage, she eloped with Lysander and fled into the forest. Demetrius, who loved Hermia deeply, and Helena, who was obsessed with Demetrius, also rushed to the forest. In order to help lovers get married, the fairy king in the forest ordered the elf to drop magical flower juice on Demetrius' eyes and face while he was sleeping. Unexpectedly, Puck got the wrong target, causing a series of conflicts.
Reader comments
"Reciting a sonnet as the opening of A Midsummer Dream"
"What we meet under the moonlight is you, or love."
"Enjoy the gardens where Shakespeare once visited"
"The world doesn't understand that victory or defeat, love or hate, are not areas controlled by gods."
"The bright moon decorates my windows, you decorate my dreams"
"Get lost in a garden of intertwined paths"
"Irresistible, the fragrance of midsummer"
"Starlight turns into wings, shining for a long time"
"Time cannot take away the wonderful youth, it is treasured in the poem of Midsummer Night"
"Even if magic blocks the eyes, the heart still guides love."
"The road to true love is never smooth."
Following in the footsteps of Lu Chen's reading. In the comedy, the two young men and women engage in an incompatible love triangle or quadrilateral. This kind of love is free and crazy. In the dream world, they are not firm about their feelings at all, which makes me feel ironic. I couldn't help but laugh at their noisy and noisy behavior, and lamented their resistance to arranged marriages.
Maybe my art appreciation ability is not high, and I don't have much feeling for the artistic technique of this comedy (the "alienation effect" proposed by Brecht) and the meaning of the content.
But this is the essence of literature of that era, an impact point on feudal society, and a historic achievement. This is undeniable.
It deserves to be a world classic, and it deserves to be a sophisticated and witty translation, which perfectly displays the tone, thoughts and soul of the original work to readers through the magnificent Chinese language. It is worth owning, savoring, and collecting. It is suitable for all ages. The plot is exciting and ups and downs, and the characters are cute and cute. It is a good and interesting book.
Midsummer Night is romantic, and so are dreams. The entangled love of four people is also like a dream, fleeting, beautiful, desolate, and fantastic.
But I felt a deep sense of sadness from it. For the protagonist, her love is still there, but for Helena, is that her love? For Demetrius, is the love in his eyes real?
I remember Shakespeare said at the beginning that love must be seen with the heart, but Demetrius seems to be living in a deception, and desire still takes up the majority. In the end, this desire is lifeless, just like in Koons's drama, the protagonist has died and "disappeared".
This tragedy comes from the selfish desires of the immortals. The form of comedy and the atmosphere of tragedy reveal the beauty of love in human nature, as well as the selfishness in human nature. If love is seen only with the eyes, it must not be able to see its true face clearly.
Suddenly a sentence comes to mind, what you think is love may be just someone else's joke.
The story had already been told by Shakespeare, and it was all old wine in new bottles.
A four-corner love story. The rich and beautiful heroine Hao Mia and the poor boy Lysander fell in love but were opposed by the family. The heroine's father was determined to let the heroine marry a well-matched, rich and handsome man. The heroine's best friend Helena was crazy about the rich and handsome Demetrius. Gao Fushuai said: I have a headache when I look at you, and Lina in the love mind said: "My heart aches when I can't see you" is the main line. Puck made trouble, causing chaos among the four of them, and made the unpopular Helena the favorite. The heroine and Helena were confused, and they started a ridiculous follow-up story, and finally the lovers finally got married. It is worthy of being the first of the four major humor comedies.
I didn't quite understand it the first time, but then I searched for the explanation and saw the clips from the movie version before I understood what it meant. It's good. Love is perfect. I like this kind of story full of drama and fantasy.
Different from conventional article expressions, the whole text is a dialogue, a bit like an opera.
At first, I felt like giving up.
Later I read it in one sitting.
After all, it is just a dream, and it will live up to Midsummer.
The tone is very vivid, but I think some words are not translated accurately. If "we" is replaced by "I", and "good people" are replaced by "dear"... Will it be more vivid?
The book "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is so interesting! The characters in Shakespeare's works are so vivid, and elves like Puck are particularly naughty, making people love and hate them. The love in the story is also very touching. Hermia and Lysander bravely resisted for love, which is very touching. The author's imagination is really rich and the plot is so attractive. After reading it, I felt like I was in a dream.
I don't quite understand it the first time I watch it, but it looks like a happy ending
Worthy of the name of classic
Objective reality, multi-dimensional description
The descriptions are very charming, I like it very much, but the plot is not very interesting to me. After all, I don't listen to people of the same era.
