In Gaiman's Dream Country, I feel as if i am left more confused that I ever was before. I feel as if Gaiman absolutely distracts and destroys the classical. For me the story leaves a sense of confusion upon me. These is a lot of mystery amongst the pages and a lot of side conversations that I can't grasp there relationship to everything else. There are bits and pieces of caption taken directly from a midsummer night's dream but this story forms around that. I personally did not reflect well upon this story. I believe it to be imaginative and I'm sure intriguing for some. But for me the story written by Shakespeare is one that can't be mangled. Shakespeare though confusing all the time wrote about something more than what this story can portray. There is a sense of beauty, light tragedy and romantic confusion in Shakespeare's a midsummer night's dream, and in Dream Country, there is a darkness, a confusion, a comedic tragedy. I don't like it one bit. Sometimes stories beginnings and ends and in betweens are to be left unsaid. The author intended for the mind to have freedom with no boundaries to limit the ability for the mind to explore. Which in a sense is what Gaiman is doing in this text. For me I, my mind goes in a different direction.
