And I needed to think that there was something else, watching too, you know? Some higher power. Some greater good. And that maybe...maybe I could be saved.

Fantasy sights: Paton

Next on our list, the Scottish 19th century painter Joseph Noel Paton.

He became very famous for his set of paintings illustrating Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania...

The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania...

Oberon and the Mermaid...

Puck and Fairies...

(I am really sad that for the first two I cannot include a full-size version of the paintings, because the amount of little details in these pieces is WONDERFUL if you can ever check it up close, don't hesitate)

Paton is often included among the Pre-Raphaelites, given his style is very similar to theirs, though he actually declined and refused to be part of their brotherhood. But their common interested for the Arthurian legends shows up in a few of his pieces, such as:

... Sir Galahad

... How an angel rowed sir Galahad across the Dern Mere

... Sir Galahad and the Angel

Other fantasy pieces of Paton include his "The Fairy Raid : Carrying Off a Changeling - Midsummer Eve"

"Oskold and the Elf-maids"

And "Cymocles Discovered by Atis in the Bowre of Bliss" (from Spencer's Faerie Queene, Book II, chapter V"

Fear and Fun - A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the unity of fear and comedy in fairies

‘Fairy’ is a name for a kind of magical being, found the folklores of various European nations, most notably those of the Anglo-Celtic Isles. They are known by numerous names, in many different languages. In England, fairies developed as a sort of unification of the Germanic elves (the terms “elf” and “fairy” are used interchangeably in folklore), and the Celtic fae. Both served as nature spirits.

In modern culture, fairies are fairly benign, harmless, and will grant wishes and help lost humans. It is, as far as my readings go, an invention of Victorian era folklore. For much of their history, fairies, elves, and other such beings could be as helpful as they were harmful. They were powerful, magical, and magnificent. Beings to be feared and respected, just as nature itself ought to be.

Poor little birdie teased, by Richard Doyle

As time went on they were anthropomorphised more and more, becoming trickster spirits and household helpers (so long as you paid them what their work was worth (all the side eye in the world to Rowling for depicting “house elves” as enthusiastic slaves, a status they would never have suffered)).

But where am I going with this? Well, the anthropomorphised form of trickster is what Robin Goodfellow, AKA Puck is. Puck being from English folklore, infamous for his pranks. That being was used by William Shakespeare for his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. That same play was performed during our trip to England, at the Globe Theater.

The standout character of the play was by far Puck. They were easily the most memorable part of it all.

First appearing, rising up out of the floor, smoke billowing around, wailing, and running across the stage, cacophonous music accompanying them. Their face was masked by twigs, making them the most inhuman being in the play, the only one without a face.

Each time Puck’s magic was used, it was accompanied by a fearful stab of music, when they transformed Bottom especially.

But Puck was humorous, sarcastic, and playful in their conduct, just the character was written. They bantered with Oberon, “I go. [leaves and comes back] I GO! [leaves and comes back] I go!” The actor was the one who got the show back on track when the theater’s sprinklers malfunctioned, and drenched the floor audience, “This always happens!” They seemed to interact the most with reality, scribbling ‘ASS’ in an audience member’s notebook, at one point I remember them waving a plane away, as the noise from them kept interfering with the play.

Puck and Faeries, Sir Joseph Noel Paton

I felt like the way they depicted Puck was a magnificent union of the way fairies are both playful and funny, and also horrifying and powerful. Puck was as scary as they were funny, and made such an incredible impression on me, that I was left thinking about it days, and now over a week later. It was a highlight of the entire trip and easily made this performance my favorite live play ever thus far.

#I don't remember if they changed Puck's pronouns to fit the actor like they did with Bottom #so I decided to just use they/them ones
