I am now reading A Midsummer Night's Dream
and i find a little thing that i don't really understand , in this
drama i found that Lysander called Helena as Helen . Why is so?
Is there any hidden relationship ?
i think this is not an important thing ,just wondering .So just feel free give me some idea about this . Thanks
Besides , i would like to know what kind of questions are frequently asked
about this play ? (i am preparing this play for my certificate exam in high school) Thanks
There really is nothing "relationship" type stuff going on between those two.
One of the main Questions i find ,having done the play and read it many times, is Should puck be played by a guy or girl i would really like to know. It bugs the hell out of me. The only other thing i can think of is that The carpenter ,if played by a woman, would have an attraction to bottom and sorta find love in the end. Shaky has been know to have minor parts fall in love to add to the drama.
Hi, what really makes me wonder is that whether Helena is part of the noble family, just like Hermia.
I know that Hermia's father, Egeus, is noble. However, Helena's father, "Old" Nedar, is "poorer than Egeus". This may be true, but does that mean Nedar is not a nobleman? Is he a commoner or a nobleman? How do you know? ( Evidence )
Please reply, and if you do, thank you very much.
