This King Shakespeare does he not shine, in crowned sovereignty, over us all, as the noblest, gentlest, yet strongest of rallying-signs; indestructible; really more valuable in that point of view than any other means or appliance whatsoever? We can fancy him as radiant aloft over all Nations of Englishmen, thousand years hence. From Paramatta, from New York, wheresoever, under what sort of Parish-Constable soever, English men and women are, they will say to one another, 'Yes, this Shakespeare is ours; we produced him, we speak and think by him; we are of one blood and kind with him. (Thomas Carlyle, The Hero as Poet, 1841).
Setting Analysis in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare
This paper analyzes the setting of William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The play is set in ancient Greece during Midsummer Eve, a time associated with fertility and marriage. The main settings are Athens, where strict laws and social order rule, and a nearby magical forest, where the laws of man do not apply and fairy magic reigns instead. These contrasting settings of Athens and the forest allow for the play's exploration of themes like love, gender roles, and the absence of rules. In the end, the characters all return to Athens from the forest.

Queen Elizabeth I ruled England during Shakespeare's lifetime. Shakespeare wrote plays in London for the theater, which was a new business that attracted ambitious young men. His plays were initially paid little, but he found success and became a shareholder in a theater company. A Midsummer Night's Dream, written in the 1590s, combines the storylines of Athenian lovers, actors rehearsing in the woods, and fairy magic. The play examines themes of reality versus illusion, love, and order versus confusion through its contrasting worlds.
