Meanwhile, Oberon quarrels with his wife Titania, the Faerie Queen. Oberon sends the mischievous Puck to sprinkle a love potion on Titania.
Puck casts a spell on Lysander and Demetrius. Puck’s spell causes both Lysander and Demetrius to fall for Helena. A betrayed Hermia chases Helena while the men fight. Under the influence of the love potion, Titania falls for Nick Bottom, an actor with a donkey’s head.
Chaos ensues, and the play becomes a comedy of errors. Finally, King Oberon removes the enchantments from all but Demetrius, who’s still in love with Helena. Duke Theseus and Hippolyta share their wedding festival with the newly matched lovers.
