DeleteLife would be so much easier if Egeus would beteem Lysander to Hermia.
The ugly pictures of me on Haley's snapchat story were momentany.
Though Bottom has a large ego he has a monstrous little respect for anyone else.
Though she acts serious in class, she has more of a wanton personality.
If Puck did not interfere with Demetrius and Lysander's fight over Helena, they made have ended up in a chide.

My words are: Grown a point, ever crossed, feigning voice, anon, trace.
ReplyDeleteWhen reading Shakespeare I have grown to a point that egeus is not a feminist.
Egeus was ever crossed when Hermia defies him and says she loves Lysander.
When the fairies sang, they used a feigning voice to sing Titania asleep.
Anon, the lovers will get married to the people that they love.
While the lovers walked through the story, puck traced after them so he could put magic in their eyes.

Translated
Helena’s eynes are compared to glass.
Pyramus and Thisbe is a interlude in the wedding.
Lysander, Hermia, and Lysander are a perfit example of a love triangle.
Demetrius had forsworn Helena before receiving the love flower.
Bottom was translated into an ass-head.

ReplyDeleteBroached
Foredone
Neaf
Bait
I tried to use iambic pentameter (only the first 3)
1) Beshrew the man because for he’s an ass head
2) I can’t believe he baited Hermia
3) The man broached his heart is Prymus
4) I wonder if Shakespeare ever considered having Lysander and Demetrius use their neafs instead of falling asleep.
5)I wonder if the mechanicals were fordone after they performed their play to the royals.
