I am doing questions 2,3, and 6.
2.)If I was to act in this play I think I would be Puck. I would be Puck because his personality seems cool to me. A little mischievous fairy that play pranks on people for his own personal need, now that's a fairy I like (no offense Oberon, but your just not cut out for me). If I played Puck I think I could create total chaos on the humans and would have a whole lot of laughs. I will also ask Oberon if I could have an assistant to help me out on pranks, but not tell Oberon the truth.
3.)My favorite scene was when everything was chaos. When Demetrius like Hermia, Hermia liked Lysander, Lysander liked Helena, and Helena liked Demetrius. I liked it because everyone was angry at each other and Demetrius and Lysander were about to fight. But, Oberon had to command Puck to stop the fight *In whinny voice*, but in the movie Helena and Hermia fought in the mud so not all hope is lost. This part of the scene also showed me something. That Puck isn't only Oberon's jester it could also mean hes his best friend as well!
6.)I liked the play for several of reasons. First, the story has a lot of morals like never give up and love can make you do crazy things. Another reason why I like this play is because of the action. I liked it when they were angry at each other because it was funny how they were smack talking each other especially in Shakespearean tongue. The last reason why I liked the play was because of Puck and Bottom. They seemed to of brought the play all together with their actions.

A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 5
In Act 5 the three couples begin to watch the play the workmen put together. Before the play the Philostarte comes to tell Theseus and Hippolyta that the play was horrible and that they should not waste their time to see it. Theseus did not matter as long as if the put all their time and effort into the play. In the beginning of the play the Prologue, Quince had horribkle grammer and told the whole story from the begging in summary form. Then the people that were nouns and that dont talk, talked like the lion and tehy wall. After the play was over the three couple went to go and sleep. Titania and Oberon then enter and sing and dance. When they are done Puck speaks a monologue about the whole story being a dream and then the story is over.

A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 4
In the first scene of this act begins with Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena waking up from the forest floor. Bottom continues to boss Titania's servants. When the servants go to fetch Bottom some stuff. Once they leave Oberon and Puck enter. Oberon feels sorry for Titania and orders Puck to squeeze the flower's juice at Titania's eyes. When she woke up she thought liking Bottom was all a dream. Oberon then pointed out Bottom and explained how it wasn't and they both got rid of him. After that, Theseus, Hippolyta, and Egeus enter the forest and find Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena. They were all confused and they were all back to normal. Demetrius went back to liking Helena and Lysander went back to liking Hermia. Lysander then confesses that he was trying to escape with Hermia so they could get married. Egeus was outraged, but Theseus let it pass since they both couples loved each other, and he wanted for them to get married with him today, his marriage day. They all exit and that's the end of the first scene.
In the second scene of this act begins with the actors freaking out. They missed the Duke's wedding trying to look for Bottom. Then out of nowhere Bottom comes. One of the actors, I think Snug came to report that the Duke's wedding was over and that there were two other weddings this day. Bottom then thought of it as another chance to play for the Duke so he ordered everyone to get ready and to meet him somewhere A.S.A.P.

What the first two scencs of A Midsummer Night's Dream was mostly about love and leadership:
The first scene was about 4 characters who were in love. Hermia liked Lysander, Lysander liked Hermia, Demetrius liked Hermia, and Helena like Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father refused the love between Hermia and Lysander so he sent Theseus to go tell Hermia that she will not marry Lysander or she will be a nun or will be executed. So Hermia and Lysander thought of eloping to to the forest then Lysander's grandmothers house to get married. They then discussed the plan to Helena and she is going to use the information to get Demetrius to like her by telling it to him.
The second scene is about a play for the Duke's wedding. The director is Peter Quince, but a man named Nick Bottom thinks hes the best at everything annd acts like the director. Everyone in the play gets different parts. Francis Flute plays Thisbe, a lady, Robin Starveling plays Thisbe's mother, Tom Snout plays Thisbe's father as well Peter Quince, and Snug plays the lion. They want the play to be a surprise so they are goin to practice in the forest to be secretive instead of practicing in the city.
