Dream and Ritual Process in A Midsummer Night's Dream
Abstract
In lieu of an abstract, the first paragraph of the essay follows:
Whereas The Tempest ponders the mystery of dream, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream considers the efficacy of dream in effecting transformation. Dream is the heart of the play; the day-night rhythm its pulse. Sun and moon alternate their specific forms of governance, but the dream world alone offers relief from the constraints of day life.
