Act 4, Sc 1 - events
Titania is back to normal. Oberon returns her senses. (because he has the changeling)
Puck returns Bottom to normal.
Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena wake up with Theseus and Hippolyta there and Egeus is with them.
There appears to be more switchery!
Theseus AGREES that Demetrius should have Helena!
The young lovers all seem confused and Theseus says they will all 6 get married together in the temple.
Bottom stumbles out and looks around for his play to begin
we see once again the chaos that is caused by magic
we also see our theme of love being fickle (changeable)
we also see our theme of manipulating the one you love (Oberon)
we also get a little good comedy from the arrogant Bottom in “ass mode”
- pompous means self-important, over the top and puffed up
- we also get to see some of the sense of the title - the lovers wake up feeling like they’ve been dreaming, Bottom feels like he’s been dreaming, Oberon tells Puck that they will feel this way - comparing LOVE and DREAMS?
