He spent most of his life in London, either acting or writing plays for the theater. As one of the most outstanding English playwrights, Shakespeare has 37 plays that are still performed on stages around the world. He died in 1616. Hermia's father insists that she marry Demetrius, but Hermia falls in love with Lysander and tells her friend Helena about their plan to meet. Helena, who is hoping to win Demetrius's love, betrays Hermia. Thus, a love game involving fairies unfolds in the woods outside Athens.
