Literacy Blog Post #6

        In today's blog post I will be talking about which cover I believe is the most effective cover of the Shakespeare's book, Midsummer Night's Dream. In my opinion i think that this cover is the most effective. The reason I think it is the most effective is because in the book (Act 2) Oberon was jealous that Titania has the Indian boy because the boy is the king. Oberon also sees Demetrius and Helena in the forest. Demetrius and Helena are in the forest because he was looking for Hermia because Helena told Demetrius that Hermia is going to leave Athen. "It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound. And maidens call it “love-in-idleness." (II, I, 151-155) And so Oberon sees that Demetrius dislike Helena so Oberon sends Puck to get the love-idleless flower to put on Titania's eyelids because then she will like some monsters and forget about the Indian boy so Oberon can have him. When he noticed that Demetrius dislike Helena he also tells Puck to put the love-Indleless flower on a man wearing Athenian clothing. So Pucks goes and finds the love-idleless flower. Meanwhile Hermia and Lysander is in the forest getting ready to sleep the reason why they are sleeping in the forest is  because they wanted to leave Athen because Hermia's dad dislike Hermia to like Lysander and wants Hermia to marry Demetrius so Hermia and Lysander decides to leave. When Puck has found the love-Ideless flower he made a mistake and puts it on Lysander's eyelids because Demetrius isn't the only man wearing Athenian clothes int the forest. "Content with Hermia? No. I do repent The tedious minutes I with her have spent. Not Hermia but Helena I love." (II,II, 84-86) I think that the picture on this cover is when Hermia and Lysander are sleeping in the forest and Puck comes to put the Lysander's eyelid. Puck is a fairy so it is normal to be tiny on the cover. That is why I think that this is the most effective cover of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
