This was a fun play but probably second only to Taming of the Shrew in the confusion of characters, who's in love with whom, who because of the juice who not.
I teach fifth grade music. Today we are listening to Mendelssohn’s Wedding March & Overture to MND. They are concurrently reading this in literature. Thank you so much. The music is gorgeous. The Shakespeare is complicated!
Thank you so much, Mr Nance, your analysis has been immensely helpful.
absolute fantastic content!! love your passion!!
Love your style so much 😂 you are amazing ❤ I even watch your videos to enjoy myself 😂

Thank you! I want to do more videos over this play as there are so many great bits that I didn’t have time for. Oberon and Titania’s relationships with Theseus and Hippolyta for example or the continued tension between reason and love.

I like this idea! I’ll try to do it, but I may not have time right away!
I think you're too harsh on Oberon. You can read the conflict between him and Titania in several ways: as an assertion of male sovereignty (as you do); as paralleling the Elizabethan desire for a male heir in an aristocratic union; as an insistence on Oberon's right to play a part in the changeling's induction into fairy society. It is, after all, a custody dispute.
I very like you would you please make an explanation of literally criticism like Marxism Nationalism...etc pls
