 * Act III, Scene 1

 26. How are the actors going to manage the setting/scenery such as the moonlight and the wall? They decide that a man will play the wall, and will open a window to allow moonlight to shine through. If this doesn't work, they will have an actor hold a lantern.

27. Why do the rest of the actors run off when Bottom reappears? The rest of the actors run off when Bottom appears, because Puck has played a trick on bottom, and turned his head into the head of an ass.

28. What does Puck plan to do when he follows after the other actors? Puck plans to follow them around, and to scare them!

29. How does Bottom react to Titania and the other fairies? At first, Bottom is surprised that Titania is in love with him, but he loves the attention he recieves.

30. Bottom says, "…reason and love keep little company together nowadays." Why is this such an apt statement at this point in the play? This is such an apt statement, because throughout the story, the love possessed by the characters has been altered so dramatically by something so irrelevant, like the juice from a flower.

Act III, Scene 2 31. What does Hermia accuse Demetrius of doing? Hermia accuses Demetrius of playing a trick on her. 32. How are Puck and Oberon going to correct Puck’s earlier mistake? Oberon instructs Puck to put the juice of the flower on Lysander's eyes so he will fall in love with Hermia. 33. Why is Helena upset when Demetrius says he loves her? Isn’t this what she had wanted all along? Helena is upset when Demetrius says he loves her, becuase she thinks Lysander and Demetrius are playing a joke on her. 34. Of what does Helena accuse Hermia? Helena accuses Hermia of beinga part of this trick. 35. How close had Hermia and Helena been in the past? Hermia and Helena had been very close friends in the past. 36. How does Lysander treat Hermia? Why can’t she believe what he says? Lysander tells Hermia that he hates her. Hermia can't believe this because only one night ago, Lysander had told Hermia that he was in love with her! 37. Of what does Hermia accuse Helena? Hermia accuses Helena of stealing her lover. Hermia thinks this was Helena's plan all along. 38. Why is Helena afraid of Hermia? I think Helena is afraid of Hermia, because Helena is a coward, and Hermia is a very passionate person. 39. What are Lysander and Demetrius going off to do? Lysander and Demetrius decide to fight it out, to see who will get Helena, because they are both in love with her. 40. What does Oberon tell Puck to do about the two young men? Oberon tells Puck that the spells on the two men must be reversed, and he must fix it.

41. What is Oberon going to do about Titania? Oberon goes to reverse the spell on Titania.

42. Why doesn’t Oberon fear the coming of day? Oberon doesn't fear the coming day because he has powers other fairies do not process, and can work magic during the day!

43. How well does Puck’s trickery work? Although we do not know how Puck's trickery works, I'm assuming it works well, because this is a Shakespearean comedy.
