Dissension from Imitation: Assessing René Girard’s “Myth and Ritual in Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream” One observation René Girard brings up is a presence of two plays, or types of play, under the name of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Girard leads into main misconception readers, critics, and the audience usually have when reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
