  3. Spencer (10th grade) Considered one of William Shakespeare’s greatest plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream reads like a fantastical, imaginative tale: however, its poetic lines contain a message of love, reality, and chance that are not usually present in works of such kind. All characters in the play are playful, careless and thoughtless, and Puck: one of the central characters in the play: is significant to the plot, tone, and meaning of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, thus becoming a representative of the above-mentioned themes. In the last stanza of the play, he shows that he is a catalyst for almost every single one of these themes. Spencer Plagiarism Case Study Why Plagiarism?

  34. Spencer Spencer’s Revision Plagiarism Case Study Why Plagiarism? When Puck asks us to “pardon” him at the end of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he points out the deep irony of the play: there is no justice in Shakespeare’s comedy, poetic, legal, or otherwise. We have no more power over Puck than the humans have over the fairies, their own fates, or love itself. Shakespeare’s world seems to include justice, but it can be seen that events in MSND are decided by power, not right and wrong. Prompt Attention Motivation and Engagement Informational?
