Question

Find two quotes from the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V" that show things that characters did wrong. In modern language, write what the actors could have done better or differently in the play. Be sure to label your quotes with the line number(s).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Quote 1: "We had a quarrell, for you,

Mistress, love him not, and I for your delight,

Have stol'n him" (V.i.9-11)

Modern Language: The two characters could have communicated and discussed their problems rather than stealing from each other.

Quote 2: "I have given her rhymes,

And interchang'd love-tokens with her; man and maid,

Thriftless at night, they thriftless have repaid" (V.i.54-56)

Modern Language: The two characters could have been wiser with their money and saved some of it for a rainy day.
