Now for the summary of act II ! - Midsummer nights dream

This act started off with Oberon, the king of fairies and Titania, the queen of fairies fighting over a little Indian boy and accusing each other of unfaithfulness or "cheating". It is obvious the hate they have for one another. To get the little Indian prince, Oberon begins telling Puck, his faithful fairy a story about a flower with magical love potion on it from Cupid. Oberon orders Puck to retrieve this flower and use it to turn his wife into a madly in love person and trick her into handing over the little Indian prince. While Puck is out fetching the potion Oberon over hears Demetrius and Helena. Helena is explaining her love for Demetrius and what she would do for him, while Demetrius is telling her to get lost and trying to get rid of her. Oberon doesn't like this so when Puck got back with the love flower he orders him to look for an Athenian man wearing Athenian clothes(Demetrius) and sprinkle it on him, making him fall madly in love with Helena, to a point where she can;t stand him.


The next scene starts off with Titania and her fairies. Titania was tired and asked her fairies to put her to sleep, they sang her a lullaby and Titania drifted to sleep. Meanwhile, Oberon's plan to sprinkle love potion onto Titania's eyes to convince her to give the little Indian prince to him, unfolded. Oberon sprinkled the love potion on the sleeping eyes of his wife, Titania and left before anyone could notice. This potion is to make the person who has it fall madly uncontrollably in love with the first living creature they see. I wonder how Oberon's plans are going to work out...

In the forest Puck is looking for the Athenian man. Puck searches until he find Lysander. Thinking that Lysander is the Athenian man Oberon was talking about he sprinkles the love flower in his eyes, and leaves. Helena then shows up and awakens Lysander. With the potion in his eyes Lysander wakes up and admits his love for Helena. Helena being an unhappy, depressed girl thinks this is a cruel joke, and storms away with anger and sadness. Lysander, madly in love with Helena follows behind leaving Hermia in the forest alone.

The love octagon is being corrupted I wonder how this is going to play out. Comment me with you thoughts...
