Playful Master Of Harmless Mischief Puck (Robin Goodfellow) And Shakespeare’s Visit To The Magic Valley In The Midsummer Dream
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Puck, also called Robin Goodfellow or "Hobgoblin," is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters in English folklore.
Famous for mischievous pranks and practical jokes, Puck has captured the hearts of many people.
One reason Puck has become so popular is that several authors and poets have included this playful character in their works.
Shakespeare's Visit To The Magic Valley
The most famous Puck version can be found in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is based on this fascinating ancient figure. In Shakespeare's play, Puck is a clever fairy master of harmless mischief. His benevolent pursuit of physical fun makes him adorable.
Of course, we like Puck in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream because Shakespeare used his talent to create a magnificent world where fairies are primarily free from demonic qualities.
In Shakespeare's play, Puck is the servant of the fairy King Oberon, who is angry with Titania, the fairy Queen. The king is jealous of the Queen's Indian slave boy, and Puck is sent to acquire a magical flower. This is the beginning of a funny and wonderful adventure.
