Puck

The character that I have chosen to play Puck is Jim Carrey. He is a Canadian American actor, comedian, and producer. He has played in movies like Yes Man, Bruce Almighty, Mr. Popper’s Penguins and many more. I think that he would fit the character of Puck the best because Puck is a very miscevious, funny guy and that’s exactly what Jim Carrey is. In the book puck is constantly playing jokes on people and is funny while he is doing it. Jim Carrey is always the funny guy in his movies and he has never played a serious role where he can’t be silly and goofy. In act 3 scene 1 Puck turns bottom into an ass. Bottom did not know about this and that’s what made puck laugh. This seems like something that Jim Carrey would do because Puck did it to humor himself and that’s what Jim Carrey likes to do.

 

 

 

 

Titania

The character that I have chosen to play Titania is Angelina Jolie. She is an American actress, film director, and screenwriter. She has played in movies such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Wanted, Gia, Salt and many more.  Angelina is often playing a very strong and powerful role. She is one of the top 10 powerful actresses. I think that she will be a good representation of Titania because, to me, Titania is a very strong and powerful character, but she can also be very sweet. Although Angelina is a strong actress she is also very sweet and she has a family with 6 kids and she seems very kid friendly just like Titania. Titania, in act 2 scene 1 when Oberon wants to take care of the boy from India she states “and for her sake do I rear up her boy, and for her sake I will not part with him.”  This is something that Angelina would say to protect her kids, because she wants the best from them and loves them very much. Lastly just like Titania is having problems with her husband, Angelina was having some problems with her husband Brad Pitt. The movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith was kind of a representation of the problems that they were having because both Angelina and Brad Pitt stared in the movie. I like the picture because Titania is a very earthly woman and I think that Angelina’s dress in the picture represents that.

 

 

 

 

Helena

The character that I have chosen to play Helena is Kate Winslet. She is an English actress and singer. She has played in movies such as Titanic, The Holiday, Carnage and many more. In 2009 Kate won best supporting actress at the Golden Globes for the movie The Reader. For me, in A Mid Summers Night Dream Helena is played as a supporting actress for the main characters who are Lysander and Hermia. I thought that Kate would be a perfect role for Helena because she won best supporting actress for a movie that she was in. In the movie Helena plays a very determined character. First, she is very determined to always love Demetrius and never let him go. Then when Lysander and Demetrius say that they love her, she is very determined that they are just playing a trick on her. Kate Winslet, in Titanic, plays a very determined character. She is very determined to stay with Jack (Leonardo Dicaprio) forever and to save him and to be with him for the rest of her life.
