Character - "Midsummer Night's Dream"
I believe the protagonist of "Midsummer Night's Dream" would have to be Robin (Puck). From what I could gather, especially after watching it on Netflix, Puck is the only character that is interacting in every plot line. His role as the central character is proven through him being directly involved in the rising action, conflict, falling action and resolution of the play. He is involved in the action of the four lovers when he is poisoning their eyes with the love potions. He transforms Bottom into the head of an ass and lets bottom think, with his love poison on Titania, that he could be with the fairy queen. He is also involved in the argument for the Indian boy. It was hard to point out a central protagonist in this reading. None of the characters are completely developed, but Puck seems to be the closest by being forced to choose one.
