Shakespeare's Blue Collars

Paper Summary:

This study personifies the characteristics of all of the 'blue collar workers' in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", from the stuttering of Snug the Joiner to the arrogance of Nick Bottom, the weaver.

From the Paper:

"William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedic play of many plots that supports the themes that love is blind and that when in love one becomes very foolish. These themes are supported by all the characters in the play who are teased by a group of fairies who contaminate their victim's bodies with love potions to make them love other people. There are three main groups of people in the play fairies, royalty, and then at the bottom there are the mechanicals. Absurd, distasteful, rude, and above all of these stupid, men who are brought together by a mechanical Peter Quince who is assigned to produce a play entitled Pyramus and Thisbe to be executed after the marriage of the Duke."
