In A Midsummer Night's Dream, how does Shakespeare use a characterâs name to create humor?
Hermia's and Helenaâs names sound alike, which is meant to be funny so that Lysander and Demetrius will get mixed up about which one they love.
Bottomâs name has multiple meanings, which are comedic because he acts foolishly and actually has the head of an a** through part of the play.
Quinceâs name is the same as a fruit, which is humorous because a quince is a funny-tasting fruit.
Robinâs nickname Puck, which means an âimpish spiritâ and âto strike,â is a joke because of all the trouble Puck causes.
