For the charater of Helena I have choose Kate Winslet.  She is a great actress and has been in over 30 movies.  Some of the movies she has been in are The Titanic, The Reader, Contagion, and The Holiday.  She can play many difffernt roles and it shows throughout all her different movies.  Her  Titanic character would be the closest to Helenas.  This is because the are both in the olden days and both were in love with someone they couldn’t have.  In the play Helena is in love with Demetrius and in the movie Rose  is in love with Jack.  This is a similarity because in both the play and the movie they can not be with there true love.  In the play this is because Demetrius does not love her back and is arranged to marry Hermia and in the movie she is frobiden to love a poor man and she is already engaged. “And even for that do I love you more.” (II,I,202) this quote shows that she is in love with someone that she can not be with and she is sayimg that not having him only makes her want him more.  This is exactly like Kate Winslet character’s  Rose.

For the character Titania I choose Jenifer Lawrence.  She is a great actress and has been in movies such as The Hunger Games, Silver Linings Playbook and X-men.   I choose her because she is beautiful and always plays a strong femal.  This relates to Titania because she is a leader and is very powerful.Her character in The Hunger Games relates the best with Titania.  In The Hunger Games she was a very strong girl, she loved nature and she took care of people(her family).   This is exactly like Titania, she is the queen of the forest and has power over everyone, she is one with nature as she is a fairy and she takes care of all the creatures in the forest.  “Not for thy fairy kingdom!”  (II,I,144) this quote shows that she will do anything to protect her kingdom and is strong enough to stand up for them all.  This is exactly like Jennifer’s character Katniss as she stands up for her district and family.

 

For the character Puck I choose the actor Kevin James.  He is a great actor and has been in many movies such as Grown Ups, Paul Blart Mall Cop, and Here Comes the Boom.  I choose Kevin James fro the character of Puck because he always plays a funny and goofy role.  He usually always messes up and is a joker just like Puck.   For example in Paul Blart Mall Cop he plays a mall cop that is sort of a screw up and  is very quirky.   This relates to Puck because he messed up when putting the potions on the lovers eyes and made the hole situation even worse.  ''Weeds of Athens he doth wear.'' (II,ii,77)  This quote shows that he does not process things very well and he jumps to conclusions.  This relates to most of Kevin James characters and that's why I think he would be a great Puck.
