Four nights will quickly dream away the time; And then the moon, like to a silver bow. New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night. Of our solemnities. THESEUS.

Hermia becomes so jealous that she tries to challenge Helena to a fight. When Titania wakes, the first creature she sees is Bottom, the most ridiculous of the Athenian craftsmen, whose head Puck has mockingly transformed into that of an ass.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Titania passes a ludicrous interlude doting on the ass-headed weaver. Theseus and Hippolyta discover the sleeping lovers in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married—Demetrius now loves Helena, and Lysander now loves Hermia. After the group wedding, the lovers watch Bottom and his fellow craftsmen perform their play, a fumbling, hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe.
When the play is completed, the lovers go to bed; the fairies briefly emerge to bless the sleeping couples with a protective charm and then disappear. The duke invites the two couples to join him and Hippolyta in a triple wedding. We welcome suggested improvements to any of our articles.
