I enjoyed the play. I thought it was good. I liked how there was love, things that are and aren't apart of this world, like magic, the faires, the four lovers, and how there was a play with in a play. It was interesting to read, at some part reading about the love with the potion it was a little confusing and I had to read it a few times to understand it. It help having the notes on the left of the pages throughout the play, it helped me understand it more. I also liked how we got to watch the movie of the play while reading, it helped me even more to understand the book. I thought in act 5 scene 1 was very interesting. Basically when everyone and all the different stories are intertwined. The lovers are all having a three couple wedding, the actors are performing their play for Theseus and Hippolyta. And when the play started, later when Starveling, as the Moon, tries to explain his role, I thought that was funny. And at the end of the play within a play when Bottom as Pyramus continues to say Now die, die, die ,die... then he dies, I thought it was funny how he keps on saying it. I also liked the part when Bottom turns into an ass, I thought it was funny and clever how Shakespeare connected Bottom and the animal together. I thought it was a good play and book to read. I didn't dislike anything about this. But at first it was hard to understand things, like the charter who is who, some of their names were some what confusing, and the language, the way it was written was hard to understand. But reading throughout the book it was easier to understand everything. A question I have for the book is what happened to the Indian boy, it isn't that important but it would have been nice to see what happened with him. One other thing I liked about the book was how and why Shakespeare wrote the play. I think it is because "The cours of true love never did run smooth;" act 1 scene 1 (line134) He is saying that in true love it can never run perfect or smoothly with out something happening to destroy it or make it hard.
