The morality of Dream is completely fucked up and yet it has its moments. Hermia refuses to be handed over like chattel by her father, or to become a nun, and the text posits that it's perfectly acceptable, even laudable, for her to run off with Lysander. Her father, Demetrius, and the apathetic Theseus are the ones shown to be in the wrong. And I still find the whole play both hilarious and enchanting, even though -- maybe partly because -- it is completely fucked up.
