Delinquent Devil
In the well-known Shakespearean play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, an imbalance of love occurs when one woman, Hermia, has the heart of two men, Demetrius and Lysander, while another woman, Helena, loves Demetrius, but isn't loved in return. There is much love confusion in the play and one character is accredited for many malevolent acts. Although there isn't a definite main character or protagonist, he is considered to play the role of the most important character in the script throughout the playwright. He is frequently performing mischievous acts for the sake of his own entertainment and he is also to blame for much of the plays love mix-ups. Throughout the play, he controls the symbol of the love juice. This very juice represents the undeniably powerful nature of love, which can lead to inexplicable and bizarre behavior and cannot be resisted. This character is none other than the one and only Robin Goodfellow. Referred to also as Puck, which ironically means 'devil', he is a master prankster and a clumsy user of magic. The mistakes caused by Puck are "honest" as is pleaded to Oberon, but he delights in the chaos created by these very mistakes. He is noted for scaring the maidens in the village, stealing cre
However, Puck is a free creature and is able to poke fun whenever and wherever he wishes; he is not always in the hands and will of the fairy King. I see him as being chained down in his decisions, as love is most of the time. He has never ceased to amaze me from his first appearance with Titania's fairy and his last words after the fumbling play that the rough workmen put on for the newlyweds. He is a symbol of the tricks that love plays on people and Oberon uses him to get the little Indian boy that Titania owns by making her fall in love with an ass-headed Bottom, although turning Bottom's head into that of an ass was Puck's idea. He serves Oberon and even while in his service he creates mischief and has fun on his own time and at his own expense. Puck is an independent yet caged character that I wouldn't change a thing about, except to allow him more freedom to create more mystical mayhem in the forest and even within the walls of Athens. These explanations of Pucks misdeeds portray him to be more of an outgoing teenager, whose life has no purpose, but to have fun and laugh at the people he messes with, including Bottom, of whom he turns his head into that of an ass, which provides for some of the plays double-edged comedy. Puck was the manipulator of the love juice and as such he fixed his "honest" mistakes and provided a humorous tone for the whole play. He is a prankster and he does not take guilt in his humorous misdeeds and accidents throughout the play. He serves Oberon and is assigned to take a purple flower that was struck by Cupid's arrow and is commanded to correct Demetrius, but ends up wreaking love havoc on many people. Many of his humorous accidents and pranks are created in his own mind so he has his own sense of character and ability. Puck tells jokes to make Oberon smile including that of tricking a male horse into thinking that he is a female horse and sometimes hiding in an old woman's drink disguised as an apple, then he would bob up to make her spill. Love has not a certain course to be led, but Puck is able to manipulate his course and to make his own decisions on the way. He is an admirable creature to the foolish comedian and his acts are to be remembered.
