A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 5

Act 5, Theseus has already been married and so have Lysander and Hermia, Demetrius and Helena. Philostrate gives Theseus and Hippolyta different options that they would like to see and Theseus picks the play of “A tedious short drama about young Pyramus and his love Thisbe, a very sad and tragic comedy,” which was the play that Bottom and the other craftsmen were doing. Thisbe (Flute) and Pyramus (Bottom) talk threw a hole in the wall, but Moonshine (Starveling) and the lion (Snug) trick Pyramus and kills Pyramus kills himself, because he thought that THisbe was died.. Afterwards Thisbe finds Pyramus died and Thisbe kills herself (himself). The craftsmen were really bad actors that made the audience laugh and Bottom didn’t get to say his story. At the end, Puck says to the audience (us) that this was all a dream.
