All the characters in the play have a relationship problem with their loved ones, but the most exciting part of the story is when the fairy king sends Puck the Fairy to use the love potion on all the people in the woods. Puck the Fairy, however, made a few mistakes along the way, and this caused much hilarious drama between characters. Some highlights in the play that I found interesting are, for example, the fairy queen falling in love with a donkey and the two lovers falling in love with the wrong people after Puck uses the potion on them. This play appeals to me the most because of its uniqueness in Shakespeare's style of play. Most of Shakespeare's classic plays end with tragedy, and many Shakespeare plays entail a lot about medieval politics and many serious topics. It is uncommon to find Shakespeare's stories like A Midsummer Night's Dream, which talks more about casual love, magical spirits and ends with a round-out ending.
