Quoting the Fairies

This worksheet challenges students to match ten famous quotes from A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the correct speaker. Students analyze language, tone, and thematic content to identify who said each line, such as Puck’s humorous observations or Lysander’s reflections on love. The exercise deepens students’ appreciation for Shakespeare’s wordplay, poetic rhythm, and character voices. By distinguishing between speakers, students gain insight into characterization and thematic development in the play. This matching task also encourages close reading and citation recall.
