2. In the beginning, Hermia is shown to be refusing her fathers order, Egeus, upon marrying his chosen man, Demetrius. In response, Egeus goes to the duke for her disobedience in response for death, Theseus whom proposes him a deal if she marries him or become a nun for life. Hermia decides to run away with her lover Lysander, escaping through the forest at night, intending to escape from Athens, and marry in the house of Lysander's aunt. Hermia informs her friend Helena, but Helena has recently been rejected by Demetrius and decides to win back his favour by revealing the plan to him. Demetrius on the other hand ignores Helena and chases after Hermia. Both Demetrius and Hermia thinking they are out of reach, fall asleep in the forest.
Meanwhile, the scene switches to Puck who meets with a fairy who serves Queen . She informs him that Titania is coming to the woods outside of Athens that night. Puck replies back, saying that it would be better if Titania did not meet as they only quarrel. Seconds later both Oberon and Titania arrive, accompanied by their fairy followers. Instantly, they begin a dispute, accusing each other of unfaithfulness and jealousy. Titania who keeps a young boy whom spends her time caring for makes Oberon jealous of the attention the boy is receiving, demanding that Titania give the boy to him from which she refuses to. Oberon plots revenge on her for humiliating him and so sends Puck to find the magical purple "love-in-idleness" flower so he can make squirt into some Tatiana’s eyes and make him fall in love with him and give him the little boy. Puck leaves him and Oberon hides himself.
and arrive in the woods where Oberon is hidden where Demetrius tells Helena that he doesn’t love her. She intimidates him by telling that she’ll chase him down if he tried to leave her in the woods. Oberon eavesdropping decides to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena and tells Puck to take some of the juice and go squirt some on Demetrius when Helena is near. Puck agrees and goes off to carry out his errand. Instead, Puck mistakes Lysander for Demetrius, not having actually seen either before. Helena, coming across him, Lysander immediately falls in love with her. When he claims to have abandoned Hermia, who he now describes as dull and unattractive, Helena assumes he is teasing her so she runs away. Lysander chases after her, and Hermia awakens. She has been dreaming about a fearful snake that ate her heart awake. Frightened that Lysander has disappeared, she, too, rushes into the woods
3. ......When Puck happens to passing by the play actors, he causes mischief by placing the head of a donkey on Nick Bottom’s head. Upon seeing Bottom, his crew flees in terror. Confused, Bottom strolls about singing a song to demonstrate his fearlessness and awakens Titania, who falls deeply in love as a result from a love potion. Pucks mischief also mixes up the love spell on Lysander instead of Demetrius. Had it not been for the fairies' mischief in this scene, Lysander and Hermia would try to wed at Lysander's aunt's house outside of Athens. Demetrius would pursue Lysander and attempt to kill him because Demetrius wants to marry Hermia.
4. Oberon plans to enchant Titania so the she would be occupied by the first thing she falls in love with and so therefore, get Puck. Puck, unknowingly, helps him in his mission.
5. Malapropism in literature is a type of humor when a character uses a wrong, but similar word. For example, in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the nurse says the word "confidence" when she really means conference, and "indite" instead of invite.
