Product information
Full publisher description
This classic comedy about love by Shakespeare comes with notes, character and plot studies and exam themes. Ideal for use in schools or home study, this edition includes the full text of the play and a full introduction that explores the many different aspects of the play. The play combines four different stories in which love plays a major role - from the mature love story of Theseus and Hippolyta, who are to be married; the story of the four lovers , Lysander and Hermia, Demetrius and Helena, and their hectic journey from fickle passion to true love. The fickle love theme is also presented in the story of Oberon, King of the Fairies and Titania, Queen of the Fairies, to the comedy of Bottom and his clowns and their play 'Pyramus and Thisbe'.
