Where is there confusion in a midsummer night's dream?

Answer 1

There is plenty of confusion in Midsummer Night's Dream due to the actions of the fairies. The mechanicals are confused when Bottom head is transformed into a donkey's head. Helena is confused when Lysander starts professing love for her instead of Hermia. Hermia is confused when Lysander abandons her in the woods, and then repudiates her. Helena is further confused when Demetrius, who previously had been in love with Hermia, is suddenly in love with her. Much of this arises when, due to Oberon giving him inadequate instructions, Puck confusedly thinks that Lysander is the "Athenian youth" whose eyes are to be medicated with Love-in-Idleness

Answer 2

Confusion arises in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" due to the love potion mix-up caused by Puck, leading to chaotic love triangles among the characters. Additionally, the fantastical elements of the forest, such as fairies and magic spells, contribute to the overall confusion and whimsical nature of the play.
