Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream are like partner plays: they are written in a similar style and there are many similarities between them. But it is as if they are mirror images of each other. R&J is a tragedy; Dream is a comedy. Dream uses the Pyramus and Thisbe story as a source of amusement; the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet is a similar story. On the other hand, in R&J, the story of the fairies (Queen Mab) is a dream, but in Dream, the fairies are the reality. In Dream, the law, after threatening to separate the lovers, allows them to unite; in R&J it pushes them apart.
