The tragedy of Romeo & Juliet vs the Comedy of "Midsummer Night's Dream".

In reading, "Romeo and Juliet," and, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," we can find a number of similarities in the characters of both plays.

In MND we have many humorous characters in not only Bottom but also more importantly Puck and Oberon who are both mischievous without hurting anyone physically.
