Persons of Interest in A Midsummer Night’s Dream

             In my opinion, I think the most fascinating character in the play is Puck. It is this quick-witted and mischievous fairy that sets many events in the play into motion using his magic. Puck uses both deliberate pranks and unfortunate mistakes on human characters to make the play more interesting. The whole play is permeated with Puck’s evocative and lovely language, his magical fancy, his unpredictable spirit, and his fun-loving humor. Shakespeare presents Puck as a good-hearted fairy yet capable of pulling cruel tricks on human characters. Unlike other fairies in the play, which are presented as being ethereal and beautiful, Puck has a somewhat bizarre look.  Buts, despite his strange looks, I find him to be very adorable, especially his lack of mindfulness. For example, there is a time when Oberon sent Puck to fetch a love portion to be used to stop the Athenian lovers from wrangling:  “Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew’d thee once” (Oberon in Act II, Scene i). We later discover that Puck unfortunately smeared the portion on Lysander’s eyelids, and the wrong people ended loving one another; the portion was to be used on Demetrius. I think everybody would find the unfortunate accident to be very humorous.

To someone who has not read the play, I would describe little Puck as an entertaining and likable character. He is the kind of fairy that enjoys being around mortal so that he can cause them trouble, unlike the other fairies. Puck is also a likable character who is always acting mischievously. To this crafty character, everything is a game. Other readers of the play would most likely fall in love with this character because the moment he discovers he has made a mistake, he does everything he can to rectify them. I think describing Puck as a likable and entertaining character would be most appropriate.
