literary interpretation

In the manga edition of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the deaths in general (the majority of which are stabbings) are far more comic than need be.  I'm not saying that they are funny, but the way the characters are depicted... their eyes too buggy and round... it just seems like the deaths are taken too lightly.  Even the drawings lack the darkness that should be there when facing a formidable thing such as death.  Overall, the story was not taken as seriously in the manga, as it was in the original.

The relationship between Oberon and Puck makes me think of "bromance."  Their relationship consists of Puck trying to please Oberon, while Oberon being stern, finds enjoyment in the acts of his friend/servant.  In the ballet of a Midsummer Night's dream, Oberon comes on stage and dances by himself for a moment, then invites Puck out to dance as well.  Once Puck joins in, Oberon steps back and enjoys the show.  This shows what their friendship is.  Puck provides the entertainment for Oberon, and Oberon provides the means for Puck to do so.
