Friends Basic Info Philosophy Favorite Quotations Resources Sources Claude Monet Robin Goodfellow Robin Goodfellow Studied Mischief at The School of Fairies* Lives in Forests of Athens* Single * Born on January 1, 1605 About Puck I’m one of the most famous characters from English and Celtic folklore. I am known as a fairy, goblin, or devil. Puck and Robin Goodfellow are both common names for the devil in medieval literature. I am what is known as a trickster character. A trickster character is one in which causes mischief and confusion, on purpose as well as by accident. I love to watch my tricks play out. I have been used by many authors including: Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, John Milton, Goethe, and Rudyard Kipling. My allegiance is to my Lord, Oberon although I serve his wife Titania at times, as well as my own pleasures. I can shapeshift, and I possess magic. I have been portrayed by both male and female actors, as a young child, as an old “hobgoblin,” and various races/nationalities (López) Oberon “If we shadows have offended,/ Think but this, and all is mended,/ That you have but slumber'd here/ While these visions did appear. .” – Epilogue, 1-4 Titania Lopez, Vincente Florés. “The Role of Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Ana Isabel Bordas del Prado University of Veléncia.

3 My Videos By Robin Goodfellow(Albums) * Updated 1 day ago
This version of Puck intrigued me. It reminded me a lot of Johnny Depp’s version of The Mad Hatter. I like that they are mixing some more contemporary ideas of Puck with the traditional, natural elements in his costume. I also liked that he broke down the “fourth wall” not only in his speech but also by coming out in the audience (The Stage Company). This is a preview for the play that was done on the stage of The Globe Theater. It gives the scope of the play and shows what the audience has coming to them. It reminds me a lot of the version I saw when I went to Denver to watch it with my juniors while I taught in Hanna. (Rose Theatre Kingston). This version of Puck’s soliloquy was done in 1935, one of Hollywood’s first versions of a Shakespeare play. Puck was played by a young Mickey Rooney. I like that this shows that a child could very easily be imagined in this role. (Orsandov’s Channel). Write your summary here… Write your summary here…
