Literary Terms __A Midsummer Night’s Dream__

1) In Act 3, Scene 1, page 7, Titania says things that Rhyme.

"Out of this wood do not desire to go. Thou shalt remain here whether thou wilt or no. I am a spirit of no common rate. The summer still doth tend upon my state."

This is very important because it makes it sound better.

2) In Act 3, Scene 2, page 3, Hermia says that Lysander was more faithful to her than the sun is to the daytime.

"The sun was not so true unto the day As he to me."

That is a Simile. This one is very important because it shows that her love is true and that she thinks that his love is also true.

3) In Act 3, Scene 2, page 4, Oberon says that Robin should run faster than the wind.

"About the wood go swifter that the wind,"

That is a personification and personifications are important because then the reader knows how fast Robin should "run".
