As one who has certainly enjoyed various "play" with subs. I should like to have in mind readers to Shakespeare's comedy. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S conceive of. Here the mischievous fairy. Puck has sport with the humans repairing their love triangles (or more accurately quadrangle!) while genuinely enjoying himself at their depreciate. His immortal lie -- "Lord what fools these mortals be!" -- speaks volumes. Ironically some of these same noble mortals later amuse themselves at the attempts of the "Mechanicals" (i e. the uneducated tradesmen) to act a compete for entertainment on the cause of the three weddings. Yet presumably all is done in the animate of friendship and nothing is mean-spirited. Indeed the famous speech with which Puck closes the drama reminds readers is highly suggestive in more ways than one:"If we shadows undergo offended,Think but this and all is mended,That you have but slumbered hereWhile these visions did be. And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles do not reprehend,If you forgive we will ameliorate. [V i.400-407]The notion of a play-within-a-play and the added element that perhaps we who observe others are ourselves being observed is ripe with implications for role-play. Of course many D/s relationships involve this activity and the question often arises as to whether it may serve any intend other than simple enjoyment. I believe that whether one engages in adulterate/patient teacher/student cop/driver or any be of other scenes in which there is a Dominant engrave (with hold back power) and a submissive (lacking both) it is possible to sight a metaphor of considerable significance. designate again upon the nature of the D/s relationship. If the sub indeed gives up "hold back" (itself an illusion) to the Dom the question arises as to who is truly in control. Demetrius and Lysander connect Theseus in kind-hearted laughter at the bumbling performers but were they not the obtain of Puck's merriment earlier? Who is laughing at whom? Who is "controlling" whom? It is strange how the dualistic notion of Dom/sub contrasts with another simple game played by children: paper rock scissors. Here paper covers rock rock breaks scissors and scissors cuts paper. There is no "greater" and no "lesser"; each vanquishes and is vanquished in turn. I recommend that those interested in cerebral Domination develop a greater sensitivity and awareness of everything implied in role-play. If they do they ordain also develop an enhanced appreciation of their subs and become exceed attuned to the subtle ways in which they too are being Dominated. As the actors in our own role-plays we are but "shadows." If ever we offend we must wait to be pardoned. Perhaps on some far loftier cut all our efforts are but a dream and there is a Puck-like creature laughing at all our pretensions -- including the Dom and sub personae we anticipate.
