Character traits for Hermia in midsummer night's dream?
I recently played Hermia, and this was what I got from the character. It is open to interpretation, of course.
Hermia is insecure about her height, but has generally high self esteem. She is good at reading subtext, and knows exactly what people mean even if they don't say it straight. She is obviously deeply in love with Lysander, and has certain expectations of what love should be. She is smart and kind, but easily jealous. She has always been well-off socially and financially, and as a teen becomes a bit of a rebel against her over-protective father.

Why is the song sigh no more ladies so significant in the film Much Ado about Nothing?
The main point of this song Balthasr sings is that relationships between men and women are fraught with difficulties.
Perhaps Caliban watched the film, THE FOUR FEATHERS, where Sir Ralph Richardson read in Braille, an excerpt from the Tempest, Act 3, Scene 2!!! Perhaps he was moved as I was: Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream(sleep) again.

What are the feelings of the main characters in Othello?
The feelings of the characters change as the play develops. That's why it is a good play. Even Desdemona, who does not change much, reacts to the change in Othello with disbelief, shock and hurt. These are not feelings she has at the beginning of the play. Of course at all times she loves Othello very deeply, more deeply than anyone else can understand.
How is the main conflict resolved at the end of 'Oedipus at Colonus'?
It is through Oedipus' death at the prophesied location and in the prophesied way that the main conflict is resolved at the end of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus comes to a grove that is sacred to the Furies of fate in an area near Colonus. He recognizes it as the prophesied place of his death. King Creon struggles to have Oedipus' death and burial take place near Thebes. It turns out that wherever Oedipus dies is prophesied to bring luck to the surrounding area and peoples. The death works out in the prophesied place and manner when Athenian King Theseus prevails as Oedipus' sole escort to a secret place of death that brings luck to Athens.

What is the social and historical context of the play The cagebirds?
We acted this play out in high school. I understood it to be a play with no actual historical context. I think it can be set in any time. It was written in the late 1960's, so perhaps it is based on the social situation at the time. David Campton writes, "It seems to me that the chaos affecting everyone today- political, technical, sociological religious, etc. etc. - is so all pervading that it cannot be ignored, yet so shattering that it can only be approached through comedy." This quote was taken straight out of the script so he must be addressing the social problems of that time.
