This graphic novel serves as an entertaining, simplified retelling of the classic Shakespearean story. The fairy king, Oberon, asks mischief-maker fairy Puck to play a trick on his wife, fairy queen Titania. Oberon gives Puck a flower whose juice will make man or fairy fall in love with the first being that he or she lays eyes upon. Puck turns an actor into a donkey, then leads him to Titania and makes the fairy queen fall in love with the donkey. Then Puck uses the flower to cause mischief between some human lovers who are wandering in the woods at night. But his magic makes two human men fall in love with the same woman, Helena, causing them to challenge each other to a fight to the death. Meanwhile, poor Hermia loses her true love when the flower’s spell makes him love Helena. But fairy king Oberon learns of Puck’s mistake and gives him another magic flower to set everything right. Oberon also releases Titania of her love for the man-turned-donkey. In the end, everything is sorted out, and no love is left unrequited. All the lovers are married in joyous celebration, and even the fairies celebrate. Summary: This book is about comedies, tragedies, histories, and romances about ancient heroes, bloody wars, and magical creatures. These scenes were taken from novels and movie clippings. Personal Reaction: My personal reaction to this story is how ancient movies and plays can be played out on stage. Classroom Extension: I can teach the class how to put on a play from the ancient days and how to play the rolls in different scenes. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
