One of the essential natures of the play is to communicate with people, and Shakespeare is said to have been most sensitive about it. There are various types and classes of people featured in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Every in the play, including fairies, has a relationship with each other through love, friendship, and/or loyalty. Their relationships look natural enough but when they face conflicts against each other, the virtual extent of their relationships and how effectively they communicate is revealed. Athens’ duke, Theseus, uses his political power as a means of communication. Egeus, a noble in Athene and the father of Hermia, shows the lack of communicative action of the older generations, who stick to their own generation’s values i.e. patriarchal ideology. Oberon, the fairy King, chooses to do magic (love-juice) to win his wife, Titania at their dissensions. His tactic can be regarded as a strategic communicative action, using power to easily persuade the other. So their conflict seems to be resolved, but definitely it is somewhere because they do not make any actual communicative actions to heal the problem. On the other hand, four young Athenians, Hermia and Helena, Lysander and Demetrius, are excellent examples who demonstrate the need of communicative action and attain the potentiality of mutual understandings. They come to know each other better as they do not avoid the moment of conflict. With the dreamlike but real happenings in the wood, they build up the solid foundation for mutual understanding for their marital future.
Abstract
One of the essential natures of the play is to communicate with people, and Shakespeare is said to have been most sensitive about it. There are various types and classes of people featured in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Every in the play, including fairies, has a relationship with each other through love, friendship, and/or loyalty. Their relationships look natural enough but when they face conflicts against each other, the virtual extent of their relationships and how effectively they communicate is revealed. Athens’ duke, Theseus, uses his political power as a means of communication. Egeus, a noble in Athene and the father of Hermia, shows the lack of communicative action of the older generations, who stick to their own generation’s values i.e. patriarchal ideology. Oberon, the fairy King, chooses to do magic (love-juice) to win his wife, Titania at their dissensions. His tactic can be regarded as a strategic communicative action, using power to easily persuade the other. So their conflict seems to be resolved, but definitely it is somewhere because they do not make any actual communicative actions to heal the problem. On the other hand, four young Athenians, Hermia and Helena, Lysander and Demetrius, are excellent examples who demonstrate the need of communicative action and attain the potentiality of mutual understandings. They come to know each other better as they do not avoid the moment of conflict. With the dreamlike but real happenings in the wood, they build up the solid foundation for mutual understanding for their marital future.
