Climax

Climax of A Midsummer Night's Dream

          What is the climax? The climax is the most intense, exciting, or important point of something; a culmination or apex. We were asked to identify the climax of the famous Shakespeare play entitled "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I'll only give my opinion so it may not be very accurate.

           There is a part in the story where Lysander and Hermia decided to elope. Helene told Demetrius about the plan of the two. Then, Demetrius and Helena went after Lysander and Hermia. When they decided to sleep Lysander and Hermia agreed to sleep far from each other. Puck thought that Lysander was the man wearing Athenian clothes Oberon referred to. Puck poured the love potion on the eyelids of Lysander. When he woke up he was in love with Helena. Puck making a mistake, made the four of them quarrel. 

This part of the story is the climax for me for this is where the conflict is really emphasized. This is the part where excitement is at its peak.
