How Does Shakespeare Use Humor In A Midsummer Night's Dream

An example, many may not be aware of, is Disney’s 1992 children’s cartoon Aladdin. Aladdin is an Arabic-styled folktale about a young, petty thief, Aladdin, who possesses a magical lamp that contains a genie. Jafar, an evil sorcerer, wishes to possess the genie with the lamp for power. All the while, the princess, Jasmine, whose unsatisfied with her place in the palace breaks out and runs into Aladdin at the market, where they begin their relationship. Everyone gets tricked by Jafar, but in the end it all ends happily ever after with Jafar defeated, the genie safe, the kingdom restored, and Aladdin and Jasmine together.

Mercutio here expresses his disapproval towards love in the famous Queen Mab speech. He compares love to a wish which originates from dreams, these dreams are visited by the queen of the fairies Mab. In this speech Mercutio shows he is quick-witted and headstrong. He also used a lot of puns, like when Romeo tells him he is talking about nothing.

However, she disobeys him and leaves, infuriating Oberon. Oberon refuses to accept defeat, and gets puck, another fairy, to trick Titania with a magic love potion to fall in love with a beast(Nick Bottom). This makes her forget about the Indian baby, so she easily gives it up to Oberon. This shows how Oberon believed what they say goes, and being a husband

Demetrius changes his love twice: Helena to Hermia, afterward it was Hermia to Helena. Lysander changes his love for Helena to Hermia, and next Hermia from Helena rather quickly too. The way Oberon drugs his wife for selfish reasons and never eventually tells her that she had been drugged, shows how unreliable he is with his love. Oberon would be willing to misuse his power to trick his queen into loving a horrible beast just for obtaining something that he wants He even mocks his queen by saying “there lies your love.” (Act IV,scene, Page 79).

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”: a Timeless Story Forever Just then, Ichabod saw the ghost rise up and throw his head. It struck his head with a great crash and Ichabod went tumbling into the dust. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a famous classic story about a schoolmaster Ichabod and his rivalry with Brom Van Brunt (a.k.a. Brom Bones).

Oberon the fairy is to blame for the conflict of Mid Summers nights dream. You might be wondering why Oberon? He is an incautious fairy that will do whatever it takes to get the Changeling boy from Titania, and enjoys the company of his servant Puck. Oberon is the root of all problems because Oberon intermeddles in other people 's lives, and tries his hardest to get his way in conflicts of the story. First of all, Oberon intermeddles in other people’s lives.

Gatsby’s Tragedy: Falling for a Minx The Great Gatsby, like the Great Houdini, is an illusionist. Similar to the Great Houdini, the Great Gatsby has a tremendous rise to fame and an outrageous reputation. Jay Gatsby's tragic flaw does not seem horrendous at first when compared to Willy Loman, Macbeth, and other tragic characters in literature, but his love for Daisy shows that the power of love outranks all other flaws. During Gatsby's youth, he met a girl named Daisy, who he immediately fell for.

Both pieces use sexual, over the top, and mostly common sense comedic pieces. In Young Frankenstein, you can see this reoccurring theme of the characters, or their actions, being over sexualized to bring comedy to a scene. My personal favorite examples of these types of moments is the scene with Dr. Frederick Frankenstein and Inga on the cart. Here we see Inga unknowingly and innocently seduce the good doctor. This was hilarious because she was so nonchalant and giddy about it and life doesn’t happen like this way.

Sutton Foster as Fiona, the unladylike talented actress as the princess trapped in a tower for years. Chester Gregory II as Donkey, the hysterical and energetic comedian as the even more hysterical and energetic sidekick. Christopher Sieber as Lord Faarquad, the six-foot and two-inches dude who plays the three-foot discriminating ruler, and, my personal favorite, John Tartaglia as Pinocchio, the talented real boy puppeteer who is now the puppet who thinks he is a real boy. These characters brought the director’s visions to life. They added in great comedy, talent, and
