What is an analysis of the setting in A Midsummer Night's Dream?The woods, Athens and Quince's place.

Woods represent irrational behaviour, dreams, magic,
confusion and immature love. This is the "fairy
world"



Athens represents rationality, mature
love (theseus and hypolyta), obstacle for lovers, the realistic world (no magical,
real!).


This is the world of the "Young
lovers"



The mechanicals' world might represent
simplicity and true happiness, because if you think about it, the person who is/ will be
truly happy in the end is noone, but Bottom. He gets Titania's true love, and doesn't
even care about losing it because he thinks of it as a
dream.


Hermia's love towards Lysander was based on looks
and perhaps, drama. Now that the drama is over, the love may not
last.


In Helena's case, what if the love potion wears
off??!!
