In that play,
we see these
elements:

4.
Apollonian Dionysian
City
In the city, the characters live with
laws and they use the reason.
Wood
In the wood, they use the magic and
instinct to solve their problems.

5.
Apollonian Dionysian
King, father Fairies

6.
Apollonian Dionysian
Order
In the city, they live with more order.
Chaos
While, in the wood, it's more
chaotic.

7.
Apollonian Dionysian
Light and day Darkness and night
At night, most problems are solved.

8.
Apollonian Dionysian
Waking Dreaming
• As an example of this
we have the nigthmare
of Helena.

CONCLUSION
The characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream
should mix, in their lives, the previous
characteristics, to solve their problems and to be
happy.
As is the custom in Shakespearean comedy,
A Midsummer Night’s Dream explores conflicting
Apollonian and Dionysian values of order and
chaos, discipline and unrestraint, respectively
