A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Shakespeare Throughout the comical play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Shakespeare, Quince, Snug, Bottom, Flute, Snout and Starveling are all the mechanicals who helped make this play what it is, a comedy. What really makes this play extraordinary are that these middle-class men who concluded A Midsummer Night’s Dream off nicely, were the recipients of jokes from a certain fairy and helped make this play comical. People believe that a play’s conclusion is more important than any other part. The mechanicals show this well not only in A Midsummer Night’s Dream but also in their production at the Duke and Duchess’ nuptial hour celebrations. Take Theseus’ (The Duke of Athens) comment to the lovers after the play, when he said, “This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled the heavy gait of night, sweet friends to bed.” (Act V, Scene i, Line(s) 345-346), which means, you have had a pleasant night due to this play and it is very late, so you should go to sleep.
