MIdsummer Night's Dream - Open ended question responses

This is the deleted scene of when Titania told her fairies about the little Indian Prince's mother, and how Oberon found out about it.

Act II Scene 1/2

Titania: (to her fairy servants) Loyal servants it is with extreme unhappiness, I must inform you that the women I once called, friend has passed on to the after life. She has left me with her little Indian prince son. I hope you all will help me teach and raise him.

Cobweb: I will help.

Peaseblossm: As will I.

Moth: And I.

Lunarsol: And I.

Mustardseed: And I.

Titania: Oh, Thank you, quick take him, I hear Oberon coming.

(Exit servants)(Enter Oberon)

Oberon: Come my wife tell me about your day.

Titania: Why don't you ask your fair Hippolyta?

Oberon: Because my wife has something I'd like. And i-

Titania: No, Oberon. You will not have that little Indian boy.

Oberon: I will too! Whether you agree with it or not!

Titania: We will see about that. I am going to the forest to protect the boy.

Oberon: Don't think I won't follow you.

Titania: Do what you want but you will never get the boy.

(Titania exits)

Oberon: I will follow Titania and start an argument in front of my loyal fairy servants, so that they back me up. I already have Lunarsol, leaking me information. I should thank you him for telling me about the Indian boy.

(in races Lunarsol as a mortal)

Lunarsol: Titania found out the truth and banded me from the colony and turned me mortal.

Oberon: There's nothing I can do thank you for your loyalty, but now you're mortal goodbye.

Lunarsol: No you c-

(Oberon zaps Lunarsol away to Athens and exits to follow Titania to the forest)




The play is called A Midsummer Night's Dream because at the end Robin "Puck" Goodfellow explains to the audience that what they've witnessed was nothing but a dream. Dream's often occur at night so I suppose that's where the "night" part comes from. "A Midsummer" is probably when the play takes place. Also, "A Midsummer" can mean it was really hot, the whole play was pretty wacky, interesting but wacky, so that can be because of the heat. In the middle of the summer it's pretty hot, and that causes you to say, do, and see weird things, that's where the title of the play can come from. Another title for this play can be "Involuntary Visions". A dream is an involuntary vision. so that's where I came up with that title. Although my title doesn't sound as attractive, it still has the same concept.




If I were to act on stage is the performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, I would with no doubt about it, want to play Helena. Her part requires A LOT of dramatic actions. Her part seems the funnest and hardest part to play. I do enjoy a challenge! =o] In the play Helena is a desperate, pessimistic, unhappy, person. This role would be so much fun, it's like the exact opposite of me! Honestly, I believe Helena's part would've been the most difficult part to play, because it requires a lot of desperation that a lot of people do not have. Back in Shakespearean times the people were unhappy, and desperate due to poverty and uncleanliness, so I guess it was a lot easier to play Helena. I would very much so enjoy playing the role of Helena.
