How is A Midsummer Night's Dream different from other Shakespeare plays you(we) have read?

Midsummer night’s dream there's definitely another and different tone than any other shakespeare novel we/i  have read. There's not only the comedy but the seriousness and the credibility of the play is all different than the other plays. This is a play that was famous because of his humor, the other plays weren't at all comedy, they were more serious and centered plays that could happen in the real world. In Midsummer night’s dream shakespeare even uses fairies and love potions during the play. In the other plays the most fictitious thing that was in Macbeth. With the witches macbeth found.

For example during hamlet it's all based on normal things that would happen in families of nobles. Someone would kill for power and then the son or another familiar would find out eventually thus starting a conflict of revenge. In the case of Midsummer night’s dream there isn't even an effort to disguise the play as reality. SHakespeare out of the bat he starts with fairies and love potions and human slaves (although the last one did happen in the real world).

In Othello there was this big scheme of betrayal that could totally happen in real life, maybe not the extent of Othello (or at least usually) but that situation wasn't that far off. Instead in Midsummer night’s dream it's just a play focus on humor.

How can character analysis help me understand a play/work better?

How can character analysis help me understand a play/work better?

Analysing a character from a work or a play lets you have a better inside of what's going on during subplots. Instead of only using and conforming with the superficial plot, analysing the characters leads you to a better understanding of the play. For example it lets you know each character's intentions and motives. Not only what is said in the play but alongside making connections you can get a better  idea of the character background.

Also making an analysis makes you re-read and catch to things that you may had passed while making a normal reading. That's because when you analyse a character you have to understand it almost entirely and for that you have to read the work or play consciously. Not only a fast and for entertainment purposes as someone would normally

What did you learn from working on the play?

While doing the play I did really got a great idea of how plays are made and their background work. All the work is behind the scene is immense, from getting the money, choosing scenography, the adaptation/writing of the play, practicing it. It make me get a wither size of the picture of how big of a work is to make a play.

Before i did knew something's about money, sponsors, etc. but not how this experience let me see. It's totally different of how we normally see and appreciate a play. Also the experience of presenting the play is totally amazing. Is something i would do gratefully and would love to do again if possible, although it isn't something i would like to center my life around.

But the nerves and how you don't see the same play the spectator views. If you were part of the play you can't say you saw the same play as the others. All the expectations, hard work and knowing how its all supposed to be, it makes the play totally different, a really good life experience.

What have you learned from studying his work?

That although that you might think that the analysis of poems would be the same on english as in spanish. The change of language makes a difference on how to analyse the poem. From the start it changes what the words say, also how you identify the rhyme and foot. Also the rhetorical devices are interpreted different.

That's because there are different meaning in the english language for phrases or expression that aren't in the spanish language. This was the game breaker because we had to think on how english phrases worked and what the meanings would be.x

What did you learn about the character that you and your team put on trial?

One of the many things i learned about Desdemona in this trial we make to her was about the fact that not always theres a clear reason of why he or she did something.

 There surely are reasons behind, but not at simple sight. So we had to ask variouse reasons of to why she didnt do anything although, to ourselfs, it seemed that she was fully aware of the situation she was in.

Other thing i also realized was the fact that you can go much deeper to a character if you give it the time. I, for example, would have stoped after completing the play and wouldnt have asked any further questions.  But becouse of this activitie i learned much about one character in specific and didnt just stayed with what the novel, at simple sight, said.

What has made Othello both universal and timeless, in your opinion?

One of the things that make Othelwlo universal and timeless and thus very famous is the fact that it was written by William Shakespear. One of the most reconginzed authors of plays of all times. This by itself makes the play valuable and important in the world of theater. But it isn't the only thing that makes Othello timeless and relevant in the world.

Other important thing that makes othello a great play is the theme it is focused on. All the trickery, lies and jealousy makes an intriging and dramatic play for the audience. The drama factor and how the play uses its characters also play an important role in making Othello an important, relevant and timeless play.

Also the Historical context is a great deal at thinking why it is relevant in the current world. Othello also acts like a doorway to tha past, expresing and plastering how humans lived on 1603. That's becouse this represents how the author, and the audience that like the play, thought at the time.

There are a great deal of factors for the reason behind Othello beeing timeless and universal across the world. Here i only emphasize the main points and thoughts of myself of why this play is important and relevant, but surely there are a lot more reasons for you to think why this play is uniersal and timeless
