The prince did not dance with anyone else all night and would always say “she is my partner” (Grimm 630). The mother through the doves gives her special clothes that are more beautiful than anyone else’s. Panttaja states that he is under a charm and it is pure magic in the work, not true love. That in itself is evil because it is manipulating the prince and everyone else around. Another example of the

/ That story” (20-21). With each utterance of the phrase “that story,” the reader can feel the sarcasm and can see the sneer aimed toward the fairytale ending becoming more apparent. The speaker doesn’t believe in the happy ending and becomes increasingly sarcastic with each instance of good fortune. Cinderella’s own happy-ending is mocked: “Cinderella and the prince / lived, they say, happily ever after, / … That story” (100-101,109). Cinderella’s beauty is ridiculed when the speaker presents the description of the young maid who “walked around looking like Al Jolson” (Sexton, 32).
Thesis: A Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare explores the idea of love and how it causes one to make irrational decisions and prone to foolishness. In the play, love is caused by a magic love potion where the four Athenian youths, Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena fall out in love with their courtship (Lysander and Demetrius fall out of love with Hermia and in love with Helena) and chase the wrong person around in the woods. Shakespeare may conclude that love is fickle and makes us suffer because of its strong power over us. I.

Appearances in the play[edit] The audience is introduced to Puck in Act 2 Scene 1 when one of Titania's fairies encounters Puck and says: Either I mistake your shape and making quite; Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he That frights the maidens of the villagery; Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern And bootless make the breathless housewife churn; And sometime make the drink to bear no barm; Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm? Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, You do their work, and they shall have good luck: Are not you he? Puck replies, Thou speak'st aright; I am that merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon and make him smile When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl, In very likeness of a roasted crab, And when she drinks, against her lips I bob And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me; Then slip I from her bum, down topples she, And 'tailor' cries, and falls into a cough; And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh, And waxen in their mirth and neeze and swear A merrier hour was never wasted there.

Which I could see the song playing in the background while Laertes returns from France to discover his fathers death and his sisters ill madness. Ophelia supposively thinks she gives him herbs and flowers when they’re actually weeds. Then shortly after Claudius appears and convinces Laertes that Hamlet is solely the one for the kings death and later on finds out that Hamlet is still alive. When I think of death I think of creepy and eerie music which also resonates or resounds the song of Hamlet. The word had gotten back to England that pirates had raided the ship and that he was returned to Denmark.
