During this scene, the Athenian lovers and the fairies occupy the stage simultaneously, often without seeing each other. At the begining of the scene Puck tells Oberon proudly that after he had given an ass's head to Bottom, Titania fell in love with Bottom. Oberon is very delighted about it. Hermia and Demetrius enter the stage and the fairies realize that Puck put the love potion on the wrong person. Oberon gives Puck the order to fix it, before something bad will arrive. During the time, the 4 lovers meet on the stage and the two men love Helena now instead of Hermia because of the love potion, which creates big tensions between them, but in the end all four of the young Athenian lovers wander back separately into the glade and fall asleep. So Puck can restore order and peace, after being the one who creates this situation.

I. LOVE IS BLIND -Shakespeare's parody of love reaches its peak in this scene. Although Hermia claims Lysander's love is truer than the sun onto the day, previous scenes have shown that his love was easily altered with the application of a little love juice. When Oberon criticizes Puck for turning a true love false, rather than a false love true, Puck replies, "one man holding troth, / A million fail, confounding oath on oath" (92–93), suggesting only one man in a million is actually able to be true to his vows of love; all others break oath on oath, including the seemingly true Lysander. The comedy of the situation appeals to Puck, who muses on what fools "mortals be." "Lord, what fools these mortals be!", Puck makes this declaration in his amazement at the ludicrous behavior of the young Athenians (III.ii.115). This line is one of the most famous in A Midsummer
