《仲夏夜之梦》是莎士比亚最富创造性的剧作之一。莎士比亚把希腊、罗马神话和英国民间传说杂糅在一起。全剧描写了四个层次的人物:空灵虚幻的仙王、仙后、仙童和小仙;公爵和他的新夫人;两对青年男女;还有六个粗俗的工匠。他们之间的关系错综复杂,仙界的争吵引起天时的反常和人情的错讹。最后,仙王与仙后和好,两对青年在公爵的婚礼后也成了亲。全剧充满了笑料,穿插以音乐、舞蹈和戏中戏,笼罩以夏夜神秘的月光和阴影,使人读了也随之进入诗境、梦境、仙境。
作者简介
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King's New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as "an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers." Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later under James I, called the King' s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain's Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare's plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two Noble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio.
莎士比亚的代表作有四大悲剧:《哈姆雷特》(英:Hamlet)、《奥赛罗》(英:Othello)、《李尔王》(英:King Lear)、《麦克白》(英:Mac Beth)。著名喜剧:《仲夏夜之梦》《威尼斯商人》《第十二夜》《皆大欢喜》(《As you like it》)。历史剧:《亨利四世》《亨利五世》《查理二世》。正剧:《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。还写过154首十四行诗,二首长诗。本·琼森称他为“时代的灵魂”,马克思称他和古希腊的埃斯库罗斯为“人类最伟大的戏剧天才”。虽然莎士比亚只用英文写作,但他却是世界著名作家。他的大部分作品都已被译成多种文字,其剧作也在许多国家上演。"

是那种口袋书的设计,方便携带,用的是再生纸,价格真是太高了,如果不是京东优惠简直没法接受。《仲夏夜之梦》,一个如梦如幻的名字,是英国剧作家威廉•莎士比亚青春时代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,讲述了有情人终成眷属的爱情故事。此剧在世界文学史特别是戏剧史上影响巨大,后人将其改编成电影、故事、游戏、绘画等。书中讲述了由“魔汁”引起的冲突及冲突被解决、有情人终成眷属的故事。有两个男青年拉山德(Lysander)、狄米特律斯(Demetrius)同时爱上了女青年赫米娅(Hermia),而赫米娅恋着拉山德,她的好友海伦娜(Helena)又恋着狄米特律斯。赫米娅为了反对包办婚姻和情人私奔,来到约定好的森林里。海伦娜将这一消息告诉了狄米特律斯,二人也跟着赶到了森林里。这个森林里本来住着仙王、仙后和侍奉他们的小仙、精灵,此时仙王、仙后正因为一个“换儿”(传说中仙人常于夜间将人家美丽的小儿窃去充做侍童)而不和。仙王为了让仙后做出让步,便派小精灵迫克(Puck)去取来魔汁(西方一朵纯洁的白色小花因为误中了丘比特的爱情之箭,受创伤后而流出的汁液)以戏弄仙后。这种魔汁有这样的魔力:如果它滴在睡者的人的眼皮上,无论男女,醒来一眼看见的生物,就都会发疯似的爱上它。 因为魔汁的出现,整个故事发生了戏剧性的变化。魔汁滴在睡着的拉山德的眼皮上,他醒来时一眼看见的是误闯进来的海伦娜,因此而“移情别恋”,对海伦娜大献殷勤,这让可怜的赫米娅伤心万分;而狄米特律斯醒来时一眼看见的恰是被精灵引来的海伦娜,因而“旧情复燃”,这让可怜的赫米娅苦恼万分。两个同样美丽、善良的女孩如今一个被悲伤逼得要发疯、一个被惊喜冲昏了头脑,于是开始恶意地揣测甚至中伤起对方。而另外两个痴情的热血青年又在愤怒中为海伦娜而决斗。此刻我们发现这四个人分别在不同的方向跑着,读来令人忍俊不禁又顿生同情。幸福的斗争是如此艰难,天命弄人,可是这种斗争的过程并非一种痛苦,一种悲剧,而是一种有着快乐意味的戏剧性的东西。而在这个故事中,最具戏剧性的情节恐怕要数仙后在魔汁的作用下与一个闯入林中的织工荒唐的“相爱”。这个滑稽可笑的织工本来是和几个同是手艺人的伙伴们来林中来排戏,小精灵迫克使织工变成了一头更可笑的蠢驴,而仙后在接触魔汁后一觉醒来时正是看见了这个可怜的家伙。于是对于织工而言,“横祸”又变成了“横福”,因为他得到了尊贵的仙后的恩宠。这是多么不可思议的事情,又显得多么滑稽!而这一切都取决于魔汁的威力、仙王的旨意和小精灵迫克的顽皮。后来也正是按着仙王的旨意,魔力得以解除、情人终成眷属、仙人和好如初,仙界、人间复归太平。

我本人很喜欢这故事。它让我想起了我们中国古代的《花木兰》。同样的巾帼不让须眉。却与我们反映的不一样。它反映了人们的爱情或人性中可笑的成份和弱点。
