Ok! I've got a report I need to finish in a few hours. Does anyone here know of some good sources about the historical/cultural context of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Shakespeare)??????

Do you know that homework help is one of the big no-no's around here?

Try Wikipedia, and look at the sources in the endnotes (footnotes?) and the External Links.

Google.

sorry, but homework threads are no no's.

so I can't tell you to try cliffs notes, google, or even check out your library.

sorry. can't help you.

its about hot robot love

its about hot robot love

lol

maybe I should just write about that

I hear Coles Notes are good for this kind of thing.

Honestly, this is the type of essay question that delayed my appreciation of Shakespeare for quite a while - it took leaving school to re-read Shakespeare and truly enjoy it without these kinds of stupid questions.

I could understand this question in terms of Julius Caesar, or the Henry IV duology but MND?

I would go back to your teacher empty-handed and state that it's against your principles to write this essay. If nothing else, you'll get some sleep.

Please let us know the results.

I would, except that I've already partly written it. I love Shakespeare, but the guidelines for this essay are particularly exacting. I can only use scholarly sources-- no independent thought allowed. So she's going to get a paper full of my personal beliefs about what Shakespeare was referring to.
