I’m composing a dialogue between these two playwrights in which they are engaging in a heated debate. What would these two writers have to say to one another if they were to remark upon these two plays? Anything is great, and sources would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Realism also usualy refrainied from making moral judgments – there was certain ambiguity that abides in “real” life.
Midsummer Nights Dream is opposite. It is not real. It is larger than life and written in verse. It has magic and fairies.
