Answer:

C.William Shakespeare.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many argue that Shakespeare´s famous comedy, A midsummer night´s dream, is, beyond its dream-like setting, a reflection, and in many ways, a criticism, of imperialist and colonialist tendencies that were already prevalent in Shakespeare´s England. In particular, it is the struggle between Oberon and Titania over the control of the “little indian boy” which most clearly reveals the undertones of the colonialist critique undertaken by Shakespeare in this play.
