A Midsummer Night's Funniest Dream

I must admit that this was the first time reading A Midsummer Night's Dream and I was not disappointed in the least. The play, although written hundreds of years ago, does not lose its hilarity. This play is a good example of how people's sense of humor does not really change. For example, the unknowing puns Bottom made when talking about himself. In fact, his name becomes part of the pun!
And then there is Puck. The mischievous mind who started the pun in the first place. Puck and Oberon were quite the funny duo. They start out trying to trick the queen of the fairies by making her fall in love with some beast (Bottom with his donkey head), but they end up mixing up the two couples that entered the forest with the same flower juice they used on the queen. The fact that these magical being could make mistakes like that makes it all the more funny because they are known for being above common human error. I also thought it was quite funny how Puck threw insults at Demetrius and Lycander in their voices to confuse them and make them lost so that they don't kill each other.
I think it is interesting how something that was written so long ago can be just as funny today as it was then. The way people talk may change but their sense of humor evidently does not.
