Reactions on the play without seeing the dawn?
We should be grateful to all those people who fought and died in martyrdom. Most of them are nameless and faceless. Nevertheless, we should always remember them. They shaped our history. We should also do our part, our responsibility and obligation, in taking care of the unity of the nation. Even if we do not firmly hold the liberty that our heroes had dreamt of, we should at least take heart in keeping the nation stable through unity and peace.

Are A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado about Nothing different plays?
Yes, they are very different plays and both very good. Much Ado is recognizable as a romantic comedy, featuring a sparring couple that can't see they are made for each other. Midsummer is also a comedy, with a much more complicated plot involving fairies and some hilarious amateur actors. Good movie versions have been made of both, particularly Ken Branagh's film of Much Ado in 1994, and a 1999 film of Midsummer with Kevin Kline and Michele Pfeiffer. I recommend you watch them both.

He wants to contrast the rational everyday world with the world of magic and the supernatural.
Is The Merchant of Venice a plea for religious tolerance?
Not at all! The play was written at a time of intense religious intolerance, although in England at that time Catholics suffered much more than Jews. There were, in fact, very few Jews in England at that time, and so they were easily stereotyped. It is like Shakespeare, of course, to make his Jewish character as human as possible in the face of these stereotypes.

It seems that Medea is a witch skilled in dark magic. Among other powers, she is able to make poisons such as that used to poison her husband's bride-to-be.
It's tricky, I know, but you need to imagine what it is like to be Hermia, and talk about how she feels at each stage of the play.
For example, in Act 1 Scene 1, Theseus tells Hermia she has three choices: marry Demetrius, become a nun, or die. How does she feel about these options? If she had to rate them, which would she rather have? How does she feel about the Duke who has sentenced her? How does she feel about her father who wants her to marry the creep Demetrius? Maybe she feels like telling him to butt out.
Later Lysander (you can talk about how she feels about him) has a plan for them to escape into the woods at night so as to get to his aunt's place where they can elope. Does she have some concerns about being in a scary dark wood at night, alone with a guy? Of course the guy's Lysander, but still . . .
And then they talk to Helena, who is full of her problems with Demetrius. Probably Hermia wonders what Helena sees in the guy.
And that's only one scene. You can do the same for every scene Hermia's in in the play, and you'll have way more than six.

What country did Torvald need to travel for his health in the doll house?
Southern Europe, specifically Italy.
Is Taming of the Shrew a comedy or tragedy?
An absolute comedy, if you aren't a feminist. It's pretty much a story about a man breaking a violent and strong-willed woman, like he'd break a wild horse.
I thought it was very funny. To get the full effect of the comedy watch the movie with Elizabeth Taylor in it. It's an older movie, but it's wonderful for helping understand Shakespeare.
What is lysanders argument to convince egeus in order to marry his daughter?

How was portia treated in shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice?
Portia was treated in a rather peculiar way by her father who left his vast estate to her on the condition that she could only marry, and was obliged to marry, a suitor who picked the correct casket of the three. How Portia felt about the suitor was irrelevant. This was hardly fair to Portia who could well have been saddled with one of the undesirable suitors she describes to Nerissa in Act 1.
Apart from her father, everyone else treats her rather well. Bassanio dotes on her. She has no difficulty getting the fake credentials which enable her to impersonate a lawyer from a lawyer friend of hers.
