Without any doubt, William Shakespeare succeeds in applying the humanism to this comedy play.
Firstly, A Midsummer Night's Dream involves the reality and illusion, the earth land and fairyland, fairytales and human beings. The author us his fantastic imagination to arrange the plots and characters, creating an interesting play successfully. From the end
5杀英文of play, it’s not difficult for us to know the writer wants to express the theme of this play. Human should peru personnel happiness actively, treat the friendship riously. Take Helina as an example, she wins the love from Lysander finally even though the Lysander treats her badly. Therefore, Helina didn't give up her right to peru her love, so her spirit of never giving up shows the humanist ideas. It prais people's strengths, value, love and affection. How to treat friendship is another theme between Hermia and Helina's relationship. They are friends at first but they become enemy after the magical juice work on the two men they love. Under this situation, they quarreled with each other and forget the friendship between them before. It ems that the author us the sarcasm to criticize people's inner evil nature and provokes people to treat the friendship in a correct attitude no matter what happens.
Secondly, the author express his opinion towards marriage by describing the love between Hemia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius, Oberon and Titania. The whole story from beginning to end is with a happy atmosphere, the joy, the lilting rhythms even though the Puck makes some mistakes leading to the misleading. This misunderstanding
reflects Shakespeare’ view of marriage of love and the profound thinking, which also is a reflection of the European Renaissance .Especially, Hemia's father is against her marriage at first, but Hemia and Lysander struggle for their marriage ,which symbolizes the humans are against the feudal forbidden system and pursue their right of happiness. During the period of Shakespeare's life, the capitalism has generated and developed increasingly .New productivity and relations of production with capitalist production were produced under the impact of such veral powers. Medieval feudalism and the power of religion gradually collap. It was during that time that the midsummer night's dream came into being. People are longing for a new relationship, for love freedom, for a better life full of hopes .The happy ending of this play brings with the people hope and joy.

Thirdly, the content of this play mentions that Hemia's father intends to master his daughter's marriage, the fairy king ,Oberon, plans to control his wife, Titania becau he orders Puck to get the Indian boy using the magic juice. From this, we know that women’s statue is still very low and women are still under the influence of the men. For example, Hemia's marriage is limited by the ridiculous law becau the duke, Theus on
ce said Hemia will be punished if she is against marrying the man his father was satisfied with. Having fled to the woods, human being's love suffered from the confusion and misunderstandings generated by the fairies. We can learn that human's power is weak in some aspects and the human beings are eager to change the unfair situation, which adjusted the reform and change of the society and reflected the humanism ideas. What’s more, the real world and the imaginary world are quite different, which infers that the conflict between the different class’s life.The king of the fairies, Oberon and the weaver, Bottoma can be referred to as the reprentative figure of a dream world. The real world Bottoma can be regarded as one with the low status but he is vulgar and plain .On the contrary,. Oberon gets what he want, the Indian boy, regardless of her wife's feeling. And he didn’t realize his fault that he asks the Puck to spread the magic juice on the people's eyes. The result leads to misleading between the four young people. It looks like that the supporter of feudal system doesn’t respect the ordinary people's right in feudal society, which stimulates the humans to fight against the upper class's strong power, and peru the happiness and freedom..
