William Shakespeare All Books Editorial Review
The Oxford World's Classics (Paperback) edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare has received positive reviews. The play is a comedy that features love, mistaken identity, an enchanted forest with fairies, and a traveling actors' troupe who provide comic relief. The play is set in Athens, Greece, and explores the fickleness of love. The play is well-known and widely performed. The characters are well-developed, and the faeries add an element of fantasy. Some reviewers suggest that the play is better enjoyed as a live performance rather than reading it. One reviewer praises the play for its ability to make them smile. Another reviewer suggests that although the book is an excellent way to introduce young readers to Shakespeare's work, it lacks nuance and thematic omissions that don't do justice to the original play.
