This episode of the story
Synopsis
Puck leads the lovers through the foggy night, using ventriloquism to keep them from bumping into one another.
One by one, they enter a clearing and fall asleep. Puck applies the magic flower to Lysander鈥檚 eyes, so that he might fall in love with Hermia again when he wakes.
Titania and her fairies wait on the transformed Bottom until both he and the bewitched queen fall asleep.
Oberon witnesses the scene, takes pity on Titania and releases her from the flower鈥檚 spell. She wakes, sees Oberon, instantly loves him again and is reconciled. She recoils at the sight of the sleeping Bottom with his donkey head. Oberon tells Puck to change Bottom back to his former state.
