A Midsummer Night's Dream

After reading this play written by Shakespeare, I must admit feeling a bit stressed out and overwhelmed. I tried the best I possibly could to keep up, but reading Shakespeare is just so damn hard. I will however admit that one of the relationships is Helena and Demetrius. I think its really funny to look at because it is the typical "she loves him, he won't even look at her" relationship that I think EVERY girl has had at least once in her life. Even what Demetrius professes his love to another woman (Hermia), Helena still won't change her feelings for him. Which is another situation I am sure all of us girls can relate to. I think the relationship between Helena and Demetrius shows that things haven't really changed that much in all these years. And than when Puck and Oberon enter the play and put Demetrius under the spell by using the flowers, this is when it gets good. Helena gets what she always wanted and Demetrius confesses his love for her. And than she doesn't even know what to do with it, she doesn't believe him. Funny how we wait so long for something, and than when it finally happens. We're kind of over it. I liked following the crazy relationships in the play because I felt like at one point or another we can all relate to the characters.
