A chink is a small hole in a wall. If it is the wall of a house, it will let in the cold or the wind, and so should be filled in. In an outdoor wall, such as the one in Pyramus and Thisbe, there is no such need. It does provide an opportunity for people on either side of the wall to speak to each other.

Who has the strongest love bond in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
That's really a hard question to answer because throughout the play the bonds of love are broken by magic, rearranged, and put back together again. Hermia and Lysander love each other from the beginning, but half way through the play Lysander turns on Hermia for Helena because of Puck. So it's not them. Helena and Demetrius don't really survive because Helena loved Demetrius from the beginning, but he did not feel the same for her. Then in the end because of the fairy magic Demetrius loves her, so its DEFINITELY not them. Finally, there's Hippolyta and Theseus who love each other the whole time, but are not affected by the fairies magic so its them .......... but hippolyta does brag about how she have a better times with other men when theseus and her were hunting. so i think that hermia and lysander had the strongest bond because oberon only changed him back which probably showed him that they truly loved each other

When does shakespeare break the illusion of reality in a midsummers night dream?
Act 2. That's when the fairies start showing up. Of course you might say it's in Act 2 Scene 2, when you hear that a bunch of Greek artisans have names like Bottom and Snout. Yeah, right. Or even in Act 1 Scene 1 when you find out that the legendary ancient Greek king Theseus is being called a Duke.
Basically this play does not create much of an illusion of reality. Shakespeare knew that good plays do not do that. The audience needs to suspend its disbelief and temporarily believe that fairies exist, that Bottom is a Greek name, that they had Dukes in ancient Athens, that what it obviously a stage is really a forest, and that people you know are actors (because it says so in the program) are actually Dukes and weavers and fairies. And this is actually quite possible and not painful at all--people have been doing it for hundreds of years.
In the nineteenth century, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree famously produced A Midsummer Night's Dream with real live rabbits on the stage. He thought, no doubt, that the rabbits would make the play seem more real. But it's not supposed to seem real, so Tree was wasting his time.
Lysander and Hermia would likely have got to Lysander's aunt's place outside the city, and have found a way to be married. Egeus would have been so angry that he would have talked Theseus into banishing them. Meanwhile Demetrius would have been frustrated and angry with tramping around the woods all night and have blamed Helena for the whole thing. Helena would have run off crying and have gone to a convent to become a nun. Demetrius would have become a crabby and abusive bachelor. Hippolyta would not have been impressed with Theseus's governing skills and would have murdered him shortly after their marriage. Lysander and Hermia, being banished from Athens, would have moved to Corinth or Thebes or some other Greek city, and become prosperous and happy.
That's what I think anyway.

Which composer captured William shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in a musical piece?
Well, Felix Mendelssohn wrote incidental music for the play which was and is extremely popular. This was music intended to be performed during a performance of the play, not music which, like Peter Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, attempted to capture the essence of the play.
Reason and love keep little company together nowadays?
This quote from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" suggests that reason and love often conflict or are incompatible in contemporary society. Reason is associated with logic and rationality, while love is driven by emotions and passion. The idea is that in the modern world, the balance between these two forces is difficult to maintain.
