Women, Men/Relationships in Midsummer Night’s Dream

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page essay that discusses gender relationships in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The writer discusses how, for the sake of love, Hermia defies her father’s wishes and risks death and Helena risks social ostracism. This contrasts sharply with the behavior of the men in the play, who tend to either uphold the societal status quo or place their own desires ahead of all other considerations.
