William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream uses the technique of multiple characters playing lead roles. The fairy character Puck stands out as the dominant and main role in the play. Puck is the best fit for the protagonist role because he is mischievous and therefore has the ability to change the outcome of the game through his schemes and actions. As the protagonist, Puck is responsible for creating the major conflict that occurs between the four lovers throughout the show. This is important because the show focuses on the lives and relationships of the lovers. Additionally, due to Puck's interaction with these characters, his actions throughout the show alter the final outcome. Finally, Puck's relationship with all the mortals in the play, his bond with his fairy friends, and the bond he has with his boss, King Oberon, make him the best choice as the protagonist. Puck influences the plot with his use of the love potion. altering the fate of the lovers. This is supported by the quote: "Churl, upon your eyes I cast all the power this charm must. When you wake, let love forbid to sleep its place upon your eyelid:" (II, II, 77-80) . This quote is one of Puck's many monologues in the play. In this quote, Puck speaks loudly as he sprinkles the love potion on Lysander, who he believes to be Demetrius. When Lysander awakens, the effects of the love potion create conflict between him and Demetrius, and also between him and Helena and Hermia. The men are fighting for Helena's love and attention, which causes Hermia to become jealous of Helena. Hermia is also quite confused because when she went to the forest she had two suitors, Demetrius and Lysander. After the love potion is sprinkled... in the center of the card... a note, Puck and King Oberon have a good laugh as friends and reflect on how their plans are coming together. In the play A Midsummer Night's Dream, the servant of the fairy king Oberon, Puck, is notably the most suitable protagonist of the play. He has interactions with almost every character in the play, whether they are aware of the interaction or not. His behavior and the twists he creates serve to not only make the show interesting, but also entertaining. If the role of a protagonist is to be the protagonist and, through his actions, keep readers and viewers on the edge of their seats, then Robin “Puck” Goodfellow has certainly accomplished that task. He is justified in the title role in A Midsummer Night's Dream.Works Cited1.A Midsummer Night's Dream Second Edition. Canada: Harcourt Canada Ltd., 1931.
