Book #16 - A Midsummer Night's Dream

This is the second play for my Shakespeare class, and one I'd read before, but a long time ago. I think actually the first duet I ever did was from this play; I was Hermia (which was a mistake on my part: Helena has much better lines in the scene we chose, though she's a bit whiny). And I either somehow never noticed or - more likely - had forgotten that they actually have a bit of a catfight on stage. Whoa that would have been fun. Alas, the boys were around so it couldn't be considered a duet.

Hermia: "And are you grown so high in his esteem
Because I am so dwarfish and so low?
How low am I, thou painted maypole? Speak!
How low am I? I am not yet so low
But that my nails can reach unto thine eyes."

Dude. Short girl has some rage. 'Course, her man just got stolen.
