A Midsummer Nights Dream Act 3 Scene 1 and 2

During this scene the actors begin their rehearsal in the woods. As Bottom suddenly disappears to look for the thing that made the noise, the actors yell for his name. While he was away Puck cast a spell on him that turned Bottom's head into a donkey's head and all the actors ran in terror. Bottom being the stubborn man he was went off on his own and began to sing to himself. As he came closer, Titania awoke to see him singing and she magically fell in love.
Lysander continued to ignore Hermia because of the love spell that was placed on him by Puck. When Hermia had met up with Helena and Demetrius all hell broke loose. The two men fought for Helena, both Helena and Hermia were confused of what was going on, and the girls got into a major fight. Towards the ending of the scene, Puck comes in to play and makes Demetrius and Lysander extremely tired so they were forced to go to sleep. As Lysander fell asleep, Puck came and placed the cure into Lysander's eyes.
