Prompt for Tomorrow's In-Class Essay

     Discuss Shakespeare's use of setting in "Midsummer Night's Dream" to develop the plot, theme, and/or tone of the play. Do not merely summarize the play. Use pervasive present tense and strong verbs throughout. Implement a short and to the point introduction. Avoid trite expressions. Do NOT address the reader as "you." Avoid the use of "This" by itself. Do not write in fragments or use comma splices. Use correct subject/verb agreement. And lastly, for the sake of the deity of your choice, do not misspell "Shakespeare." 

You may consult your text if you like but do not get bogged down in reading/re-reading. This is a timed essay. No further time can be provided.
