Sports & Entertainment In 1839, the philosopher Hermann Ulrici wrote that the play and its depiction of human life reflected the views of Platonism. In his view, Shakespeare implied that human life is nothing but a dream, suggesting influence from Plato and his followers who thought human reality is deprived of all genuine existence. Ulrici noted the way Theseus and Hippolyta behave here, like ordinary people. He agreed with Malone that this did not fit their stations in life, but viewed this behaviour as an indication of parody about class differences. [34] Whittall, Arnold (1998).

James Halliwell-Phillipps, writing in the 1840s, found that there were many inconsistencies in the play, but considered it the most beautiful poetical drama ever written. [30] Love, says Helena, is “said to be a child” and the production is powered by youthful glee. You miss the poignancy and profundity but it’s an escapist treat – and standup George Fouracres is such a delight as the bellowing Flute that you even wish Pyramus and Thisbe lasted a little longer.Presenter: Hello and welcome to The Big Scene. We’re at rehearsals for A Midsummer Night’s Dream . It’s Act 4, scene 1, and fairy magic has been transforming Bottom and just won’t stop. The challenge facing the director today? How can this player be made to look like a right donkey? She’s got options, but it’s a big ask. Can she pull it off on this team’s budget? She’s got great vision this director, but this has got to be convincing for the crowd and still allow for a great performance from the player. Dent also denied the rationality and wisdom typically attributed to Theseus. He reminded his readers that this is the character of Theseus from Greek mythology, a creation himself of "antique fable". [41] Theseus' views on art are far from rational or wise. He cannot tell the difference between an actual play and its interlude. The interlude of the play's acting troop is less about the art and more of an expression of the mechanicals' distrust of their own audience. They fear the audience reactions will be either excessive or inadequate, and say so on stage. Theseus fails to get the message. [42]

He saw the main themes of the play as being violence and "unrepressed animalistic sexuality". [43] Both Lysander and Demetrius are, in his view, verbally brutal lovers, whose love interests are exchangeable and objectified. The changeling that Oberon desires is his new "sexual toy". [43] The aristocrats of the play, both mortal and immortal, are promiscuous. As for the Athenian lovers following their night in the forest, they are ashamed to talk about it because that night liberated them from themselves and social norms, and allowed them to reveal their real selves. [43] Kott's views were controversial, and contemporary critics wrote either in favour of or against his ideas, but few ignored them. [43] Wiles, David (2008).
