A Midsummer Night's Dream Open Ended Response Questions

Did you like the play? Why or why not?
I have mixed feelings about this play, sometimes I loved it but sometimes I wanted to close the book for good. I liked the book during the parts where everything is going well like in the end when everyone was happy and had gotten married to the person they loved. Also I liked the funny parts of the play with bottom and the other craftsmen in the play. I hated the parts of the play when everything was going wrong. When all the characters were upset and fighting like when Puck put the love potion on the wrong person(Lysander instead of Demetrius)I just couldn't stand the story. Any other time when the characters was sad, angry or depressed the play bothered because I can not stand to see people upset.

Who was your least favorite character? Why?
My least favorite character was Egeus. I chose him as my least favorite character because if had not meddled Hermia and Lysander could have married sooner. All though if Hermia and Lysander had not run off into the forest Puck never would have made that mistake and Helena and Demetrius wold not have ended up together. All though with out Egeus the story would be so much happier. Eqeus is defiantly the worst character in the play because he is so stubborn.

Would you change any part of the play? Why or why not? If you would, what would you change?
If I could change anything in the play it would be that Titania and Oberon would love each other. If the where happy then most of the characters would have lovee in the end and everything would be much more pleasant. I feel like in the end it just cuts off and doesnt really dive you what happens after Puck speaks. I wanted more of a story after everything was good again, like what happends to all the characters after all is back to normal.
