Midsummer Nights Dream Act5 Scene1

Midsummer Nights Dream To what extent does ACT5 Scene1 deport a harmonious current World? Act 5 Scene 1 is considered to be a harmonious New World, not forgetting that we oblige just left the Green man with on the whole the mischief and fairies all around. This would make us question is the commons globe really gone? And is the reinvigorated world really all that Harmonious? Act 5 Scene1 is the resolution of the entire play. At the first base of It is obvious that the harmonious New world is present, with all the arguments and raw siennas falling out with one another and falling in love with someone else, all that has been left behind.Usually, characters who return from the Green world back into the brisk world discover that all their problems have been resolved and any(prenominal) past mistakes they have made, they will learn from. Lysander and Hermia and Demetrius and Helena all marry, this would be interesting because in a New World multiple wedding ceremonys suggest that there is social harmony. On the other hand none of these marriages are shown on stage in front of the audience and just reading the play we only hear about the marriage taking place and are taken straight to the celebrations of the evening.This would concede us to think that if all the marriages taking place are legitimate and doesnt really portray a harmonious feel,its just leaves us tangled on the reason why. All shown above supports Frays theory on the New World, but how true is this love surrounded by the Athenians in the New World? Demetrius is still under the Love Juices influence that was placed on his eyes during Act3 Scene1, and is under the impression that he is in love with Helena, so a good deal so, that he has married her. Now we are left with the nagging thought of if the green world i. the fairies didnt interfere with Demetrius inner feelings and mind, would he still be in love with Hermia? And would Act5 Scene1 be really that Harmonious taking into considera tion that it was the help of the Green World that allowed this forward-looking world to happen but its rub is still present. So how far has the problems from the Green World been resolved? Because surely if everything had been resolved Demetrius wouldve naturally fallen in love with her without the interference of Puck and Oberon.At the start of Act5 Scene1 Hippolyta notes to Theseus that the young Athenian lovers story is strange but Theseus seems to dismiss this idea with More Strange Than True. Theseus makes the connection between the wild imaginations of the lovers, lunatics and poets, all of which touch in nicely with the idea of fantasies. With the lunatics imagination in play turning heaven into hell, thinking they can see devils everywhere. Lovers existence just as savage seem to think that shaping Helenas face in the brow of Egypt makes her beautiful. The poet on the other hand creates entire worlds from airy nothing of imagination.This could be considered god like, me aning we have no real control over what happens. The formality of Theseus words changes. From being a man with the voice of reason, logic and fairness throughout the play. He uses words/phrases such as lunatic lovers and the poet and imagination all this short phrases and words youd expect to find in the green world which plays around with the idea of lunatic behaviour and a great deal of imagination. Along with the change of formality in the way he speaks, he also begins to talk about animals and how the human eye can be conduct, how easy a bush mantic a bear.Theses opinion of the lovers, makes us really think are things in the new world always as they seem? And is the love they feel for their dear ones really true or in fact just an illusion which has been made that form things unknown. Is this really how a new world is supposed to be? With the easy misleading of the human eye, which could taint the ideas of true love and marriage. The mechanics play brings dancing and festive behaviour towards the end of the scene this would support the ideas of a New world. The mechanics produce a play within a play this would highlight the illusion and reality shown throughout out the play.The character Bottom who plays Pyramus talks in rhythm and rhyme. Between lines 260-275 in the play this flowing and overwhelming of the rhythm and rhyme, would be supported in act4 scene 1 where bottom refers to himself in large amounts as me thinks this would demonstrate repetition and rhyme and lack of organisation within the mechanicals play. This would contradict the ideas of the New World, as the new world is supposed to be considered where all things are to be organised and shouldnt consist of repetition of things because those wouldve been left behind in the green world.Bottom playing Pyramus is a lover who kills himself at the end of the play, this play is performed in the new world. Now we know that the play ends with the lovers getting married, but in this celebration dea th is being presented alongside it with the mechanics play. Would this play fit into the new world idea? Or could it be considered a sort of sign or representation that the new world isnt always going to be filled with harmonious happiness and in fact that there will always be a harsh reality out there? Act5 Scene1 begins with the high social class of the Athenians and then it ends with the Fairies Puck, Oberon and Titania.It is evident that the New world is in place because the problems that were once occurring between Titania and Oberon have now been resolved and they have now learnt from their mistakes. At the end of this act Oberon blesses the Athenians and his mildness suggests that new ideas and solutions are going to take place. The splendor of children is also important because it signifies a new world. However there is a darker side to Oberons kindnesss. In a part of Oberons blessing it says Never mole, hare-lip, nor mark prodigious, such as are, despised in nativity.The fact that this play is supposed to end with a happy and harmonious marriage is contradicted by the short sentence in Oberons blessing. It shows that there is that darker side of marriage which involves children and how they should be perfect and that they should be cast aside if they have any de-formation. It could possibly be Shake spears way of telling the audience that there is no such thing as a harmonious new world and that there will always be that dark side that cannot be controlled. Marriage is supposed to be a binding before god, would the gods approve of this blessing?
