Midsummer ACT I, SCENE I  1.) How is Hippolyta’s reasoning concerning how quickly the next four days will pass different from that of Theseus? Note how Shakespeare portrays the patience and calmness of Hippolyta in contrast to the impatience and need for action of Theseus. 

2.) Why has Egeus brought his daughter and her two suitors to Theseus? What does Egeus expect him to do? 

3.) What was the proper role for women/daughters in Athenian society according to Egeus and Theseus? 

4.) What is Theseus’s ruling concerning Hermia? 

5.) How does Lysander’s comment about Demetrius’s previous love affair with Helena complicate things? 

6.) What do Lysander and Hermia plan to do about this seemingly impossible situation? 

7.) Why do they tell Helena what they plan to do? 

8.) Even though Helena loves Demetrius and is Hermia’s best friend, why does she decide to tell Demetrius of Hermia and Lysander’s plans?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
