Gaiman' text compares to Shakespeare's text in a variety of ways but I think the most substantial correlation that can be made is the plot runs almost parallel to A Midsummer Night's Dream.
At first glance it is conspicuous that both modes of representation; the classic play and the graphic story incorporate fairy creatures, and other elements of the fantastical enchanted forest where all goes array in the name of love. I do think that the graphic form of representation is more comprehensive than the play's written form which contains befuddling words that are no longer used in contemporary language. The pictures also help to serve an explanatory function. Overall I have not had the chance to explore Gaiman's adaptation to the extent that I could formulate a definitive judgement on its nature but from what I have seen thus farNeil Gaiman's adapatation richens the level of understanding.
