Helena was engaged to Demetrius until he suddenly broke the engagement as he fell in love with Hermia. Demetrius and Lysander both love Hermia, but she only returns Lysander's love. Egeus, Hermia's father, approaches the Duke Theseus, saying that Hermia must either marry Demetrius, or die. Lysander and Hermia sneak out late one night to be wed. Demetrius follows, enraged, and a doting Helena follows after him.Meanwhile, Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairies, are having a fight over a young boy Titania took. Puck, a problem causing fairy is given a task to change the loves of the yoh in the forest, when the plans go horribly wrong. The lovers story intertwines with the story of an acting troupe when the potion changes the love of the lead actor, Nick Bottom, who falls in love with queen Titania.
I really enjoyed this book, and the side by side transliterations were really helpful. I like how the story is easily understandable even though it is in script form, and the transliterations because it made it easier to understand, and more enjoyable. I think that all of the characters were well done. I also really enjoyed all of the relationships between the characters because it really increased the storyline.
