As we now the play takes place in the period of renesance. During this enesance period were found new things... for example antropocentrism which contain to put stress on human as a person and the life. Individualism is another one and is about making person more complicated. The main thing is the comeback to the nature which was inspired by Antique. Second one is using problems from everyday life. All of those we can find in this play. For example both of the story is in the forest and there are magical things like nymphs atc. Soo this is a example of using nature elements. The plot is about love, and this belong to the everyday life in my opinion. And the character Theseus is good example of individualism because he want to solve the problems by different way. So he has think about himself and make desicions to be like this.
So in general A Midsummer Night Dream is a typical play belongs to Renesance period.
Ok lets put a question .... Can this story by relate to todays world ?? can be relevant ???

 From one side it is impossible to associate this play with todays world, maybe with children world. But personally I do not know person that saw a nymphs or elphs in last few weeks. Also I cant imagine that can take plays in forest.... I do not know any forest like this in real life ( yes we have but they are demage or destroy but people that want money and money and nothing else) and I cant imagine in this period to stay in forest during night ... I will be really scared that someone can stole me or hunt me :) ... ok I know i have big imagination...lets go back to plot....So we can not put it into real life because of this mysterious things.
As I sad the Renesance is about individualism and put stress on individual thinking ( for example when Hermie decided to leave with Lysander). And in our quick period is this very important .... we do not have enought time for everything we should be ready in few moments and withnout individual thinking that was found many years ago we will be lost in our time.people are different, good, better, bad... this will be same in every age. Another thing is the love plot ... problems with love has averyone who I know but as I sa before we do not have time to deal with it like in Shakespeare book.
Soo from one view it can not be relevant but when we look at it detaily we can find many things. It is only about the person that it is reading. Everything is about the person.

  1. Could it be that the world of nymphs represents the unrestrained -- or, in the terms of modern psychology, unrepressed -- half of our personalities, the world where are desires have freedom?
