Analysis A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare The story of A Midsummer Night's Dream was mainly about love and its abnormal dealings. In the play, Shakespeare tried to show that love is unpredictable, unreasonable, and at times is blind. The theme of love was constantly used during the play and basically everything that was said and done was related to the concept of love and its unpredictable ness.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet and Taming of the Shrew the themes explored in the various plays and consequently emphasized and iterated by the plays within plays are clearly depicted.

And while all three worlds tangle and intertwine together during the play, it is the fairy world that has the most impact. The lovers are changed by their meeting with the "children of Pan."
