message through denotation, connotation, and his use of negative versus positive diction. The denotation in Stevens' poem displays his weariness of society's dull approach to life. When he begins talking about how, The houses are haunted by white night-gowns. None are green, or purple with green rings, he's complaining about how people in society dream of normal un-imaginative things.

The vagabond begged for hospitality for one night: the night of Ash Wednesday exactly, when the wind dragged along a blackish dust, whirling, and whipped the glass windows with a dry crackle.

Appearence and Reality in A Midsummer Nights Dream Appearance and Reality are very common themes in our daily lives, especially with the integration and use of technology. This is how Shakespeare stays relevant, and his works do too. I think the major theme behind William's use of these two, is to show us that things are not always as they seem.
