Poetry- Dreadful or Helpful?

Personally, I dont really mind poetry. It’s not something I hate, but it’s not something that iI just read for fun eaither. I dont really have much of an opionion about peotry, because I havent really gotten the chance to read much poetry, that wasnt for little kids. I am not a huge fan of poetry, however, because every time I do read poetry, it seems like little short bits and pieces of stories. Not like an elaborate story filled with detailed descriptions. I have not had much expirence with Poetry, reading or writting. I dont particually enjoy writting poetry. When you write poetry, you have to be vague. When I write I like to be descriptive, list every feeling and emotion in the story. When you write poetry, you cant be descriptive or tell charisterics and emotions.

Shakespere: teaches us a lesson

1.          In A Midsummer Nights Dream Puck puts a love potion on Lysander when he should have put it on Demetrius. This causes havoc and chaos between Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius. They are all fighting so bad that the slightest thing said will result in fighting and insults. I think that Shakespeare was trying to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That you’ll love, its human nature, but also that your eyes are different, that no one interprets one thing the same exact way that someone else does. So when someone sees something as beautiful, someone else might not. I also think that Shakespeare was trying to convey that love can change, that it is in fact easy to be persuaded into being unfaithful, or “think” that you don’t love someone. I think it was almost a warning that no matter how much you love some its easy to fall out of love with them, but loves not easy or sweet, or even tangible sometimes. Love is two people trying to stay together, and trying to always be happy together, love is real. How does this relate to “dating” in the eight grade? My perspective of the situation is that Shakespeare is using the flower put on Lysander eyes as an archetype of a simple change-of-mind. It is easy, when your young just to go to bed thinking you’re in love, and wake up with a whole new perspective better or worse.

2.       “Lord what fools thees mortals be.” Said by Robbin Goodfellow to Oberon. Why this is relevant or makes any sence what so ever, is because I think that Shakspere was trying to warn us. He was trying to tell us not to think to highly of ourselves, and no matter how advanced our lives, of cities become, that we should always remember that we are foolish and that we can make mistakes. Shakespeare was ahead of his time in many ways, he knew to warn people of our future, in many ways, Shakespeare is saving us from ourselves.

Robin Goodfellow, Titiana and Oberon

Robin Goodfellow, I think he wants to please Oberon. But i think that puck is laxy and doesnt want to take the time to do what he knows is right.Normally, i think that he uses his magical powers for his ammusement, and his own selfish gain.The other faries think of puck a selfcentered and only cares about pleasing himself.

Tinania, and Oberon fight alot! I think that they fight so much because Titania is so strong willed, and  doesnt believe in just following the orders of her husband, she believes in doing what she loves and living her life for herself. Oberon is also a main factor in the fighting, because he is so controlling, and wants Titiana just to obey his every command, and not be her own person. I dont think that this is the first time that Titiana and Oberon have fought, they seem to have a history of fighting.Some examples that would show that Titiana and Oberon dont have a very strong marrage are when Titiana and Oberon both accused each other of loving other people, and that they dont want to be around each other. Titiana and Oberon obvisouly arent in love.
