    Me: So, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is what kind of Shakespeare play?

    Student 1: these people are stupid, so tragedy?

    Me: There’s a general rule of thumb for Shakespeare:

    Me: Comedies end in weddings, tragedies end with funerals (or death.)

    Student 2: …Wasn’t that a Panic! at the Disco song?

    Sen noci svatojánské (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) (1959) dir. Jirí Trnka

    “In the past, just as today, the stars were shining in the sky. It was in 1594, and the poet William Shakespeare was writing a comedy about slumber on a summer night.”

    “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.”
