imagination versus reality
In a world constructed on the basis of politics and religion, which are used to form a stabile environment, William Shakespeare uses Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream to introduce imagination as the key role in making fantasy turn into reality. The major themes present are how falling in love and the imagination can overtake reality. Whenever we fall in love, go crazy, or fall asleep and dream, we enter the realm of the imagination. ... Bottom is used as a parody of humor, arrogance, and outrageous imagination. ... Bottom represents imagination overtaking the reality which is already construed in his mind.
