-A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
Comment: I started this book believing that I wouldn't enjoy it and ended it thinking it was rather charming. I enjoyed how Goudge drew upon connections between women and the moon as well as how she addressed death. I noticed that J K Rowling holds this book in high regard and I wonder if there are any connections that she brought into the Potter series (ex Zachariah and Mrs Norris?).
Question: In what ways does this text play into stereotypical gender roles? In what ways does it transcend stereotypical gender roles?
