莎士比亚的喜剧《仲夏夜之梦》发生在夏至，这一天一直被认为是一个神奇的时刻。这出戏就遵循着这个传统精神，将场景摆在众多精灵出没的幽暗森林当中。在剧中，精灵王奥伯龙与王后泰坦尼娅起了争执，奥伯龙就叫他的仆人帕克在泰坦尼娅的眼睛上点了一种魔液，使她会对(醒来后)所见的第一个人一见钟情。与此同时，有两对年轻男女(在森林中)迷路了。帕克将魔液点在两个男子的眼睛上，结果他们俩都同时爱上了其中一个女孩。之后帕克看到一个叫巴腾的演员，他一时兴起，决定把巴腾的头变成驴头。没过多久，泰坦尼娅看到巴腾就爱上了他。

莎士比亚(1564~1616)不仅是一流的演员，也是文艺复兴时期英国最伟大的剧作家(a first-rate actor as well as the greatest playwright in Renaissance England)。据学者估算，莎士比亚的词汇量大约有三万两千个字左右(scholars have calculated that Shakespeare had a vocabulary of about 32000 words)。惊人吧！世界各地的人们至今仍以英语或其母语阅读他的剧本，或观看其演出(people all over the world have read his plays or seen their performance in English or in their own language)。
