A Midsummer Night’s Dream connects a number of distinct plots. These are the argument between the fairy king and queen, a royal wedding in Athens, the love affairs of for young Athenians, and the efforts of common workmen to produce a play for the state wedding celebrations.  The introduction of the workmen as they begin their production and assemble for the distributions of their parts was shown in the Act I, Scene 2. It highlights Bottom the weaver’s desire to steal the stage and play every role differently hilarious with Snug’s shyness.  In Act III, Scene 1, they meet to begin their rehearsals.  As the story moves towards the end, many aspects of the plot were linked. In this part, Bottom the weaver was caught in main conflict between Oberon, the fairy king and his queen Titania. A magical flower was used to bewitched Titania into a deep sleep and that she will fall in love with the first she sees when awaken. Obseron’s servant Puck finds Bottom the weaver and his companions in the forest near Titania’s bed. To revenge for his master completely, Puck made it certain that the queen will be humiliated by transforming Bottom the weaver into an ass.
