		Shakespeare's final opus is perhaps also his strongest statement on the supernatural, magic, and the entire faerie clan.

		When Puck first responds to the fairy's "Our Queen and all her elves come here anon"(II.i.17), with "The King doth keep his revels here tonight"(18), he is doing more than proclaiming his alliance and warning the fairy: he is warning the audience of the king's terrible temper.
		Though Puck insists in his closing monologue that the actions on stage were "no more yielding but a dream," there were longer-term effects.

	A Midsummer Night's Dream Summary & Essays - William Shakespeare
		Most scholars believe that Shakespeare wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream as a light entertainment to accompany a marriage celebration; and while the identity of the historical couple for whom it was meant has never been conclusively established, there is good textual and background evidence available to support this claim.
		At the same time, unlike the vast majority of his works (including all of his comedies), in concocting this story Shakespeare did not rely directly upon existing plays, narrative poetry, historical chronicles or any other primary source materials, making it a truly original piece.
		Most critics agree that if a youthful Shakespeare was not at his best in this play, he certainly enjoyed himself in writing it.
