(This person is a brave soul!) The person who pitches may be a screenwriter, a producer, an actor, a director, a sports figure, an author, a public figure, a professor, a lawyer, a carpenter, a homemaker -- anyone can pitch a movie idea. Mostly, this person can be called a storyteller.
Theseus has the role of an authority figure, blocking the romance of Hermia and Lysander, and providing the motivation for them to enter the forest. Later, in the same role, Theseus is able to provide reconciliation and resolution to the lovers' situation by allowing them to pair off in the way they desire. Theseus and Hippolyta together provide the occasion of an upcoming marriage. This is the pretext for the mechanicals' play. Their wedding also becomes the event around which the final action in the play coalesces: the play Pyramus and Thisbe and the wedding of the lovers. Theseus as an authority figure can only operate in the town; in the forest he is beyond his jurisdiction, which is why Hermia and Lysander go there. For so long as the action is in the forest, Theseus is absent. Oberon is the king there.
apostrophe
The word apostrophe comes from the Greek word "apostrephein" meaning to avert or turn away. It is used to represent the omission of a letter. As a literary term, apostrophe is a figure of speech that is used to represent something that is either dead, absent, or nonhuman and acts as if the subject was present. In short it is a figure of speech that is used when an author speaks directly to an idea, object, quality, or an absent person.
