So I missed a posting day, but this is why

My heart has been hurting since losing Juniper. So, meet Philostrate! 2024 is the year of healing.

Ranking of A Midsummer Night’s Dream Characters

The Mechanicals: pretty swell guys, would definitely want to be friends with them

Hermia: just wants to marry the guy she loves

Lysander: just wants to marry the girl he loves, whole “loving Helena” is not his fault

Helena: bit of an inferiority complex, endearing and just wants to be loved

Hippolyta: kind of just there, seems like a nice lady

Theseus: a bit too concerned with his wedding vs the possibility of a girl dying, was in a bit of a tight spot and did his best to get around it

The Fairies: just following orders, not much personality there

Titania: just wants to have her changeling boy (which I do not condone and therefore she is lower on the list than need be but you gotta admit there are a lot of reasonable and not terrible characters in this play)

Philostrate: has a pretty good speech about all the possible performances

Demetrius: he’s a prick

Puck: kind of creepy

Nick Bottom: obnoxious, overbearing, and loud

Oberon: what is your deal man you just left the potion in Demetrius’ eyes without his consent, also not a great “person” in general

Egeus: terrible father, not the worst in Shakespeare’s cannon but he’s up there, why would you want your daughter to die???

Theseus: Are you a boy or a girl?

Philostrate: I’m master of the revels

Theseus: Yeah but what’s in your pants?

Philostrate: A brief on what sports are ripe, make the choice of what your lordship will see first.
