ia doesn’t realize what has been happening and she is confused as to why a mortal with the head of an ass is in her bed. Titania and Oberon are no longer upset with eachother and they leave together. Theseus, Hippolyta, and Egeus find (run into?) the couples asleep in the wood. They wake them and as they awake, Lysander goes back to loving Hermia and Demetrius falls in love with Helena. They explain to Theseus and Egeus that the problem of before (Hermia being forced to marry Demetrius) no longer exist. Demetrius wishes to wed Helena, and she consents. The same goes for Lysander and Hermia. In another part of the forest, Bottom wakes up alone. He remembers what happened the night before and decides to tell no one, for two reasons. 1. He doesn’t really understand what all when on, and 2. He would look like a fool if he told of such a silly story as if it were true.

At the after-party of the triple wedding that has just occurred. Theseus requests for entertainment for himself, his wife, and his guests. After denying other options, he chooses to view the tedious play the clowns have prepared. The play turns out to be very comical for the audience because the clowns were so unprepared. They end up needing a person with a lantern to be Moonshine because, for some reason, they can’t use the actual moon as they had planned. Bottom (Pyramus) and Flute (Thisby) forget a few lines. The prologue is so simple and unprofessional one can’t help but laugh. The idea to use a person as a wall is also comical. A Midsummer Night’s Dream ends on a happy note this way. Everyone (the reader, viewer etc.) is in a good mood as the play ...
