ESSAY QUESTION 2 with reference to 2 plays and 1 performance you have…

- - - - PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, RANGE OF BACKGROUNDS INFLUENCE THOUGHT PROCESS AND COMMENTS
        
        ISSUES CAN BE FORMED AS DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDINGS
        
        REVIEWS MAY BE IMPACTED FROM NEGATIVE INTERPRETATIONS
- - - - The reader may also relate negatively to MSND if they connect with the clear concept of jealousy in the play. If they have experienced betrayal from their lovers, or friends. We see the concept of jealousy from the very beginning of they play when Helena is jealous of Hermia, as both Lysander and Demetrius have fallen for the same girl, Hermia.
        
        Midsummers' could be negatively portrayed due to the fact that it could be seen as unrealistic as it is a fictional play and is literally a dream and not reality. It is the 'fantasy' of love and the ideal situation, which could be hard to link to real life as not every love story ends happily and in most relationships their can be complications.
- - - - Also relatable to mothers as if a parent was reading this play, at the point where we are informed that the Duchess as been killed and 2 of the children have been strangled, mothers especially would be horrified at this as they can relate to Duchess through parenthood and it would be impossible to imagine what Duchess has went through and the thought of losing children.
        
        Relatable through love.
        The true love Duchess has for her children and Antonio, she even keeps it a secret and goes through hassle just to be with him, which many people could relate to through complex experiences and possibly again through family disapproval.
