Act 4: A Midsummer Night's Dream


In Act 4,  Hermia, Helena, Demetrius, and Lysander all wake up to see that Theseus, Hippolyta, Egeus, and other Athenians are in the forest were they fell asleep. They all have a discussion on how Lysander is in love with Hermia while Demetrius is in love with Helena. Theseus understands that Demetrius doesn't love Hermia anymore so he forgets about Egeus' wishes to force them together. Theseus invite the two couples to get married at Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding. 
Titania and Bottom fall asleep and Oberon sprinkles the "unlove juice" on both of them. Titania wakes up thinking it is a dream and her and Oberon end up coming to the conclusion that they really do love each other. They also realize that the only thing that was putting a strain on their love was the Indian prince, and because that issue was "fixed" they could move on. Bottom wakes up and talks to himself about his awful vivid dream he had. He goes on and on about how indescribable it was, he leaves the forest to find his friends.

  3. I know it sounded a little weird, but when I was looking at my dashboard, I saw that you posted one of them 12 minutes ago and the other one 20 minutes ago. So I just did the math.

  4. Oberon doesn't put the "unloe juice" on both Bottom and Titania, just Titania, because Bottom didn't have the "love juice".
