I like Shakespeare’s fantasy plays. As far as I’m concerned,
they’re the best ones the guy wrote. A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells of the
intrigues of the Faerie Court and what happens when foolish mortals stray
across their path. Oberon is angry with Titania, so he orders Puck to make her
fall in love-for just one night- with a mortal. Puck goes so far as to give
this mortal a donkey head so that Titania will be fully humiliated. He also
dabs some on the eyes of a couple of the mortals, not realizing the chaos that
will presently break forth. But even if he did, I don’t think Robin Goodfellow
would have really cared. A great play when done right.
