A Midsummer Night's Dream

After reading this book it really seems like a story within a story. On page 68 the scene looks like it is staged with Demetrius trying to get rid of Hermia and Hermia attaching herself to Demetrius in any way she can. He is standing to the left trying to leave her and she is at the bottom right holding on to his leg. All of the word bubbles are in the shape of a heart. There is love between both of them and you can tell becasue the word bubbles that are in the shape of a heart are going both ways. This realtionship is valuable becuase it is the main relationship in the story. The words are very important but the pictures add so much more to it that it really makes this scene come alive and it is easier to understand.

I think that if readers were to read the manga version of this as well as the regular version of this story they would get a lot more out of the manga version. This seems to be a harder story to understand and the pictures really add a lot to it, making it easier for the reader to undersatand .

  1. I do appreciate the use of word bubbles in the Manga Shakespare book. The word bubbles made me better understand the story.
