    • Hermia, scene i
  • Swift as a shadow, short as any dream, Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say, — Behold! The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion.

If anyone knows what its called that would be very helpful, thank you. I have read the twilight series its not that i am looking for even though twilight is amazing! I think its is called love forever or something like that, its a very teenage girls romance book.

A. Love Struck by Rachael Wing was based on Midsummer Night's Dream but it has a blue cover. It's a teenage girls' romance book, though. It could be the right one. Her first book, Star Crossed, was based on Romeo and Juliet and had a pink-ish cover.

What is a good scene from Midsummer Night's Dream?
Q. I have to rewrite in my own words, a scene from the A Midsummer Night's dream, and I don't know which to do. Any help?

A. Almost any scene in that play can be adapted into modern language. But what about the scene where Theseus and Hippolyta are talking about getting married the following day. I believe this is also where Theseus describes how he vanquished the Amazons as well.
