MIdsummer Nights Dream Opinion

This play was pretty funny, though I don't think it was quite as humorous as Taming of the Shrew. Bottom was very funny though in his extremely foolish antics. We saw an early version of slapstick which holds strong as an important part of comedy to this day. Again, this play remained funny and relevant to the humor of humans for over 300 years which was amazing to me and makes my opinion of Shakespeare as a genius even stronger. This was interesting to think about because it shows how humans have not changed deep down over centuries and the same things make us laugh and even cry.
