Question 11 • MO-English Language Arts 11 B-CR

Read the excerpt from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.PUCK How now, spirit! whither wander you? FAIRY Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moon's sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green. Which of the following traits supports the fact that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is an experimental drama?

Answer
A
The characters engage the audience in the drama.
B
The characters have creative and active imaginations.
C
The characters are presented in new or unusual ways.
D
The characters are portrayed as they appear in real life.

Explanation

The fairy describes traveling over hills, through fire and flood, and moving faster than the moon. This presents a character with magical, otherworldly abilities rather than one portrayed as an ordinary person in real life. That unusual presentation supports the idea that the play is experimental drama.
