What does the flower do in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Answer 1

There are two flowers: with one, if you get it in your eyes when you're asleep, you fall for the first thing you see when you wake up. The second flower is the antidote--it stops the person from doting.

Answer 2

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, the flower known as "love-in-idleness" has magical properties. When its juice is applied to a person's eyes while they are sleeping, it can make them fall in love with the first living thing they see upon waking. This creates chaos and confusion among the characters in the play.

Answer 3

The juice of the flower love-in-idleness, when dropped in the eyes of someone while asleep, will make him or her fall in love with the first living thing he or she sees after waking.
