The Characters of Helena, Puck, and Bottom
Description
Shakespeare develops a broad range of memorable and contrasting characters from ancient Athens in A Midsummer Night’s Dream: royalty, nobility, lowly craftsmen—and fairies. This program deconstructs the comedy in an engaging way using dialogue to examine some of its key characters, including Titania, Demetrius, Helena, Puck, Lysander, Hermia, and Bottom. It is an ideal resource for students of English and literature.
