Der Kaufmann von Venedig zählt zwar - wegen des glücklichen Endes - zu Shakespeares Komödien, aber die dominierende Figur des Juden Shylock trägt offenbar Züge, die das Stück durchaus der Tragödie annähern. Venedig und Belmont bilden zudem zwei faszinierende Gegenwelten, aus denen das „Problemstück“ seine dramatische Spannung bezieht.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of Shakespeare's most renowned plays, celebrated for its diverse staging possibilities. The work explores the relationships between genders in various societal contexts and a magical fairy realm. These relationships range from passionate love to strictly arranged marriages. The multitude of characters and layers of action creates a vibrant cosmos that culminates in comedic and fantastical harmony. The story follows Theseus, the ruler of Athens, who intends to force Egeus' daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, but she loves Lysander and flees with him. Hermia's friend Helena, who is in love with Demetrius, betrays their escape. In the forest, a group of craftsmen rehearses a play to honor Theseus' wedding to Hippolyta. There, the fairy king Oberon and his sprite Puck create confusion with the juice of a magical flower: Titania falls in love with a transformed donkey, and both Lysander and Demetrius become infatuated with Helena, leading to a series of humorous entanglements.
