Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Review by Lucas!

In A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare there are six main characters: Hermia, Helena, Lysander, Demetrius, Puck and Oberon.  The main challenge faced is love and the theme is that love can be challenging.  First, everyone love each other and is happy except for Demetrius and Helena.  Demtrius isn't loved by Hermia and Helena isn't loved by Demetrius.  Then Lysander and Hermia go out into the night to live happily away from  Athenian law.  Finally Puck messes around with Lysander, Hermia, Helena and Demetrius (who followed Hermia and Lysander into the wood).  Puck makes everyone love everybody that hate eachother and the battle of love rages on.  One thing I liked about this book was that it had very challenging words and it was fun to figure out what those words mean.  You might like this book if you enjoy acting, Shakespeare, and hard, hard words.
