A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3

In Act 3, scene 1, Bottom, Snug, Snout, Quince, Flute and Starveling are rehearing for the play, but they had to fix somethings that were in the play like the lion's roar and when Pyramus takes out a sword and kills himself. As all of this is happening, Puck is watching the craftsmen try to act and Titania is also there, but she's sleeping on the side. The craftsman don't notice that Titania or Puck is there and Puck doesn't like that they are rehearing there, because they're going to wake up Titania. Bottom says his line, but then he leaves and Puck leaves with him. Back stage Puck turns Bottom's head into donkey's head. Bottom comes back with Puck and the other craftsmen scream and run away as Bottom enters. Leaving Bottom alone with on idea that is head is turned into a donkey's head. Puck also leaves and Bottom thinks that they're playing a jokes on him. Titania wakes up and sees Bottom singing and falls in love with him (Titania has the love juice). Titania offeres some of her faires Moth, Mustardseed, Peaseblossom, Cobweb to do whatever Bottom wants them to do. Bottom justs fallows along and they all leave.

In Act 3, scene 2, Puck is telling Oberon what has happened while he was gone. As Puck is telling Oberon what had happened (from scene 1), Demetrius and Hermia enter. Oberon sees that what he had told Puck, had been all mixed up, but Puck did what Oberon had told him and Puck seemed like he didn't really care. Hermia thinks that Demetrius has killed Lysander and left Demetrius alone to find Lysander. Demetrius falls asleep and Oberon puts some love juice on Demetrius so that he would fall in love with Helena. Oberon also tells Puck to go get Helena so that when Demetrius wakes up he will see Helena and will fall in love. Lysander and Helena eneter and Lysander is telling Helena how much he loves her, but HElena thinks that Lysander is playing a joke on Helena. Demetrius wakes up and falls madly in love with Helena. Helena still thinks that Lysander is joking around with her, but Demetrius has joined in and Helena has no clue that Lysander and Demetrius are madly in love with her. Hermia enters and is confused why Lysander left her. Lysander tells Hermia that he has fallen in love with Helena and doesn't care about Hermia. Helena still thinking that they are making fun of her and now thinks that Hermia is also part of this. Demetrius and Lysander exit to go fight to see which of them gets Helena. Hermia and Helena also leave. Oberon is going to try fix this by making the forest all foggy, while Puck is going to find Demetrius and Lysander. Puck uses Lysander's voice to send Demetrius a different way and Puck uses to Demetrius's voice to send Lysander another way so that they don't fight (everthing is foggy so Demetrius or Lysander can't see that it's Puck). Demetrius andLysander were too tired to they decided to fall asleep where they are (they fall asleep right next to eachother, but they don't see each other). Then Helena and Hermia fall asleep where Demetrius and Lysander are, but they don't see each other nor Demetrius and Lysander. Oberon takes the love juice off of Lysander, but leaves it on Demetrius so that he could learn his lesson.
