Summary "Le songe d'une nuit d'été" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written in the late 16th century. The play intertwines the lives of several characters, including lovers Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius, alongside royal figures such as Duke Theseus and the fairy king Oberon. The narrative explores themes of love, enchantment, and the nature of reality within the context of a magical forest setting. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Duke Theseus and his betrothed Hippolyta discussing their upcoming wedding in Athens while a love quarrel unfolds among aristocratic young lovers. Hermia is in love with Lysander but is being forced to marry Demetrius, who does not love her back. In the midst of their romantic entanglements, the fairy realm begins to influence the mortal world, setting the stage for a night filled with magic and misunderstandings. With Puck, a mischievous fairy, involved in the proceedings, the chaos of love and fantasy begins to unravel as characters find themselves entangled in unforeseen relationships and comic situations.
