As I read the passage I noticed immediately some different literary device and structures that I will unpack and explain throughout this short essay. I will mainly analyze the rhyming structure and the vivid imagery and descriptive words that Shakespeare uses in the passage; as well as what I think is achieved by the use of those devices. Starting right from the beginning I noticed an interesting rhythmic structure throughout the passage, the rhyming couplets of this passage suggest to me that it could be performed in a steady moderate or a vigorous pace. This was likely meant to be performed slowly because of the context

    Whereas the first half is much more relaxed, with the alliteration playing a large role in this, the second is sharply different. Instead of speaking of the stillness of the night, Shakespeare is discussing action and loud sounds. He speaks of waves and rough winds and storms, yet also of a boy sleeping. This contrasted with the calmness of the night where the King is, yet the King’s inability to sleep helps to create the powerful message about the King’s mind. Whereas the first half had soothing diction, the second uses words such as “rude”, “ruffian”, and “monstrous”.

    Julie Taymor’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream film adaptation creates a fantastical spin on the well-known Shakespeare play. The director is able to create an effective dream-like setting with the use of projections, lighting, and puppetry.
