Analysis

Well ! of course in the original book of william shakespeare there are many word i didn´t know. I will write down a few of this ( with translation ) and a few `language interesting ´ passages :

The unknown word	The meaning I	The right meaning
or text	I thought about	or translation
methinks	me think ⇒ich denke	mich dünkt
feigning	Täuschung , falsch	Simulation
trifles	das Wenige	Kleinigkeit
thou	×	du
stubborn	hartnäckig	dickköpfig
dotage	×	die Altersschwäche

Well , did you know some of these words ??

William Shakespeare used a special type of text : a poem
I give you an example :

helena to hermia : `my ear should catch your voice , my eye your eye ,
my tongue should catch your tongue´s sweet melody .
were the world mine demetrius being bated,
the rest i´d given to be to you translated.
o,teach me how you look , and with what art
you sway the motion of demetrius´ heart ´

In the book you find a lot of love poems - some are nice some are boring

 here are some helps to understand the picture :

prediction

at the moment i read the second act and the first scene .
it´s after the conflict between titania and oberon ( see the essay about oberon ) .
now are demetrius and helena in the forest and oberon hears the talk between them .
helena loves demetrius but he say that she are not allowed to follow her anymore .
after demetrius exit she says :
`i follow three and make a heaven of hell , to die upon the i love so much ´.
 oberon heard everything and wants ,that demetrius  fells in love with helena with the aid of the
magic flower.

i guess that oberon order the puck to bring the magic flower to demetrius so that he fells in love with
helena. maybe demetrius is going to follow helena all the time, after that . how i could read before in the book is every time a big love chaos so maybe lysander is going to fall in love with helena too.

maybe after that titania fells in love with oberon a second time because
she think it was very funny .
But we´ll see (190 )

A letter to Oberon ( character analysis )

dear oberon

you are the king of the fairies .you can perform magic and you live in the forest . you are the husband of titania but whats with this love ?in the second act i read that you  said to titania :

``ill meet by moonlight titania ´´

 in modern english it means something like this :

``how not nice to see you titania ´´

and because of this and the following things i don´t understand whats about your love 

is it right that you had an affair with hippolyta , the queen of the amazons who is going to marry theseus

the well-known duke of athene ?

and titania had an affair with theseus ?

ok now i have one more question : who is this little boy you´re talking about all the time ?

after the conflict with titania you speak with the puck robin goodfellow and order that he goes around the world and search a purple flower . when you put this flower on eyelines of an asleep person this person will love the guy who is in the eyes when he wakes up .

so you say that you want to give this flower titania when she sleeps .

but why do you want that she loves a lion ???

hermia ( personal connection )

hello everybody !
today i want to write something about a person in my book : helena
how you can read in my first post helena has to decide if she tells the secret of lysander and hermia to demetrius .
I want ,that helena doesn´t bespeak the love couple just because she wants to  be loved by demetrius .
dosen´t she understand that demetrius doesn´t love her ??
I think it would be an breach of trust !
when i could ask helena a few questions i would ask her :
- helena, do you really think that you can `have´ demetrius when you bespeak lysander and hermia ?
- do you want to bespeak your friends ?
-which person is for you more important : hermia or demetrius ?
-what are you going to do if demetrius doesn´t estimate you ?
-what are you going to do if egeus and theseus want to kill the couple ?

i would ask all these questions because i can´t believe that just helena thought about this opinion :
that she wants to bespeak her friends !
so what will happen ? ( 170)

the love chaos at the first scene ( first impression )

so it starts with a blogger homework - but what is after the blog ?
how you can see i choose a classic book : a midsummer night´s dream of  william shakespeare
when i read the first page i thought , oh my god ! What a language
 - i didn´t understand anything !
but than (after i read a little bit of the german book ) i could guess what is in there
so i want to write  ( no i should write ) my first impression  of the book : first i write something about the first scene :
first there is a duke of athene , theseus and he marries the queen of the amazons , hippolyta .
theseus swear her his love , but i´m not sure if she´s so enthusiastic . : )
Then there comes egeus with his daughter hermia , lysander , her sweetheart and demetrius , the suitor of hermia . egeus is very angry with hermia because she felt in love with lysander ( her wants her to marry demetrius )( in athene ( at this time ) the father can decide on the daughter )
but hermia don´t love demetrius , because he loves lysander
now hermia has two opinions :
either she has to die or she must live like a nun .
than ( after theseus , demetrius and egeus were gone ) lysander prates one page about his love to hermia. it is sweet , no question , but long
so lysander and hermia plan to escape and marry . but than hermias friend helena is coming - and of course she´s angry too . she is angry because she loves demetrius , but he wants to marry hermia.
lysander  commits his plan of the escape to helena - and that was a big problem , because helena wants to say the plan demetirus !


You see there is a big love chaos and i thought you can compare this classic book with the modern life :
in my age there are so much love situations and problems about boys that you can lose the view
i´m not sure about helena - will she talk to demetrius and bespeak hermia and lysander ?

oh well , i will see ( 338 )
