仲夏夜之梦A Midsummer Night's Dream
著/佚名 播/佚名
《仲夏夜之梦》是威廉·莎士比亚青春时代最后一部也是最为成熟的喜剧作品，同时也是威廉·莎士比亚最著名的喜剧之一。整部戏剧情调轻松，总的来说就是一个“乱点鸳鸯谱”的故事。剧中有穿插了小闹剧当作笑料，即众工匠为婚礼所排的“风马牛不相及”的喜剧以及排戏经过。这部戏剧没有什么深远的社会意义与内涵。它所包含的，只是纯净的快乐，仿佛是一部戏剧的狂欢，中间也掠过一丝爱情所固有的烦恼，但亦是加以欢乐化、喜剧化的。莎士比亚在同时期的作品中，“梦”字的出现特别频繁。潜意识藉此在梦里呈现出来，透露人的真正想法、感觉、欲望或恐惧等。梦也带有预示作用，预示未来可能的变化。这个故事发生于城市与森林、清醒与睡眠、真实与梦幻之间。忒修斯掌管现实的雅典城，奥布朗则是森林之王，分别象征理智和潜意识。森林代表******、焦虑、混乱、不受管束，隐藏许多不可预测的因素，仿佛一场纷乱的梦境。雅典城则代表社会机制、社会运作的秩序，可以化解所有的冲突。
