''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' is a comedy play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1597. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals), who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world. == Characters == The Athenians * Theseus – Duke of Athens * Hippolyta – Queen of the Amazons, betrothed to Theseus * Philostrate – Master of the Revels * Egeus – father of Hermia, wants her to marry Demetrius * Nedar – father of Helena * Hermia – daughter of Egeus, in love with Lysander * Helena – in love with Demetrius * Lysander – in love with Hermia at first but later loves Helena and then goes back to love Hermia * Demetrius – in love with Hermia at first and then loves Helena at the end * Spirit 1&2 – Talk to Puck and Oberon The Fairies * Oberon – Titania's husband and King of the Fairies * Titania – Oberon's wife and Queen of the Fairies * Robin Goodfellow/Puck – servant to Oberon * Peaseblossom – fairy servant to Titania * Cobweb – fairy servant to Titania * Moth – fairy servant to Titania * Mustardseed – fairy servant to Titania * First Fairy, Second Fairy The Mechanicals (An acting troupe) * Peter Quince – carpenter, leads the troupe and plays Prologue * Nick Bottom – weaver, plays Pyramus * Francis Flute – bellows-mender, plays Thisbe * Robin Starveling – tailor, plays Moonshine * Tom Snout – tinker, plays Wall * Snug – joiner, plays Lion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Midsummer Night's Dream」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
