A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3

In scene 1 of this act, the actors playing an act for the Duke of Athens, Theseus. While they perform Puck, Oberon's jester thought it would be funny if he turned Bottom's head into a donkey. So he does so, and the rest of his crew is terrified and they all run away. When Bottom was then alone he began to sing then wakening Titania from her sleep. She then falls in love with Bottom and spoils him with her fairies who he then makes fun after.
In scene 2 of this act, Puck first reports to Oberon that Titania has fallen love with a man named Bottom. Next he tells him that he put the love potion on the man wearing Athenian clothing. Helena and Lysander then enter and Oberon realizes that Puck gave the wrong juice to the wrong man! Then Hermia and Demetrius enter and a big feud arises. Oberon then orders Puck to lead Lysander and Demetrius away from each other and to get another love potion to put on Lysander's eyes to make everything back to normal.
