A Midsummer in dream country
so the text in both a Midsummer Night Dream and Dream Country are very similar and very different. Dream country still has the olden day feel to it but its language is much easier to understand. It modernizes Shakespeare and for this particular piece i think it works much better than a "script" pretending to be a book. I mean it is a play but you don't "see" it in novel form. Basically the only thing that lets you know it is a play is someone entering or exiting other than that you have no clue what is visually happening the way this book is wrote the actors come out on a stage stand right in the middle say their lines and walk off. no i know there are a few parts that give us more than that but not many. So now i look at this graphic text and i get to see someones interpretation of a hobgoblin and it show more of what people look like which is good since there are alot of characters for such a short novel. and when we see a character we remember them more so for how they look than for their name just like in real life when you see someone and you recognize them you just cant quite think up their name.Overall i think the graphic text is more appealing because it is in simpler text that i Can understand and i think it helps understand what is going on in this classic
