midsummer nights dream 2

Comedy in A Midsummer Night's Dream "why do they run away? This is a knavery of them to make me afeard."(3.1.99) This is a quote from the Shakespearean play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." In this quote, the speaker, bottom, is wondering why everyone is afraid of him. He doesn’t realize that as a practical joke, a trickster Puck, has put an ass head on his shoulders as a joke. This makes all of his …

…on Bottom’s shoulders and causing the people to be afraid and to run away, and Titania falling in love with an ass and pampering it and loving it just like anything else. We can see from all of the above examples that the play, A Midsummer Night’s dream, is in fact a play that is made up of humourous situations and that it seems to be reasonable to classify it as a comedy.
