THE WOODS IN GREECE. IT'S A NATURAL LUXURIOUS PLACE FULL OF COLOUR, PERFUME AND DELIGHT. IT'S ALSO A PLACE OF MAGIC AND MYSTERY WHERE HERBS AND FLOWERS CAN TREAT ILLNESSES OR HAVE SUPERNATURAL EFFECTS.
MAIN THEMES

OTHER 3 PLOTS

4 LOVERS FROM ATHENS: HERMIA & LYSANDER/HELENA &DEMETRIUS
SOME WORKMEN (ACTORS) FROM ATHENS WORK ON A PLAY "PYRAMUS AND THISBE" BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PERFORM IT AT THE WEDDING OF THESEUS AND HIPPOLYTA.
"WE SHADOWS" P. 120. IT'S THE EPILOGUE (END) OF THE COMEDY.
IF THE AUDIENCE HAS BEEN PERTURBED BY THE PLAY, NO MATTER BECAUSE THEY JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER IT'S ONLY A DREAM.
PUCK SAYS HE'LL USE BETTER HIS MAGIC IN THE FUTURE. PUCK STANDS FOR SHAKESPEARE WHO WILL WRITE BETTER PLAYS (OR USE BETTER THE MAGIC OF THEATRE) IN THE FUTURE
SHADOWS HAS 2 MEANINGS. IT'S AN IMPERFECT COPY OF IDEAS (THE THEATRE IS AN IMPERFECT COPY OF THE REAL WORLD) AND IT REFERS TO THE SPIRITS LIKE PUCK (THE ACTORS) THAT ARE UNREAL COPIES OF HUMANS.
