What is the plot to A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Answer 1

Theseus (Duke of Athens) is making preparations to marry Hippolyta, meanwhile, Egeus is telling Hermia that she must marry Demetrius, however Hermia loves Lysander, and is refusing. Hermia and Lysander plan to run away to a rich aunt of Lysander, and get married. They tell Helena of their plans, but she tells Demetrius to get into his good books, as she loves him. In the forest, a group of men are preparing a play for Theseus' wedding, when one of the men turns into a donkey! Also in the forest, are the fairies, and Oberon and Titania, are fighting, so Oberon puts love juice on her eyes, then she wakes and falls in love with the man/donkey. Meanwhile, Puck puts love juice onto a sleeping Lysander, and Hermia is next to him. Then Helena enters, Lysander awakes, and falls in love with her. Helena feels mocked so they run off arguing. Then on comes Demetrius, and Hermia awakes, believing Demetrius has killed Lysander in his sleep, they argue and Demetrius falls asleep. Then Demetrius ends up with love juice in his eyes, and an unhappy Helena and Lysander come on stage, which then wakes Demetrius, he falls in love with Helena, and then Hermia comes onstage. This is the first point where everyone is all together, having a huge argument. Insults are thrown around, and people are constantly being hurt. When it all dies down and everyone falls asleep, Puck and Oberon "arrange" them, with love juice and out them in positions, so that when they wake up, they fall back in love with the correct person. then the play is performed at the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta and everyone lives happily ever after
