What is a summary of Midsummer Night's Dream?
Sparknotes, as well as many other websites, provides succinct summaries. Here's mine: Duke Theseus of Athens is going to get married in 4 days. A man (Egeus) and his daughter (Hermia) approach Theseus with the following problem: Hermia wants to marry a man (Lysander), but Egeus wants Hermia to marry a different man (Demetrius). Both Lysander and Demetrius love Hermia. Theseus commands Hermia to obey her father. She refuses, and plans to elope outside Athens' jurisdiction with Lysander. She stupidly tells this plan to her friend Helena. Helena loves Demetrius, but Demetrius wants Helena to leave him alone. Helena tells Hermia's plan to Demetrius because she thinks he will show his gratitude by marrying her. This doesn't end up working in Helena's favor, but it stops Lysander and Hermia from leaving Athens. (Sorry, my hand is hurting so I have to stop here.)
What would have happened if Oberon had not interfered?
We cannot be totally sure, but very possibly Hermia and Lysander may have made it to his aunt's place and got married. Or they might have been so lost in the woods that they came out of them right into the arms of Hermia's father. Hermia may have decided to become a nun. If Hermia and Lysander did make it to the aunt's place, then Demetrius probably would have given up on her, but may have gone after another wealthy girl and not Helena. Maybe Helena would decide to become a nun. Take your pick.
What happens in midsummer night's dream act 4?
Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Demetrius used to love Helena but is now in love with Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father, orders Hermia to marry Demetrius and gets the Duke of Athens involved, who explains to Hermia that if she does not obey her father she may be beheaded or forced into a life of nunnery. Next, Hermia and Lysander escape to the forest to hide from the Duke and Egeus, but Demetrius and Helena follow. Meanwhile, Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania, Queen of the Fairies are arguing over a boy who Titania adopted. Later, Oberon orders Puck to squeeze a special love juice in Titania's eyes as she sleeps so that the first creature she sees when she wakes up, she will fall in love with. Then, after hearing Demetrius rejecting Helena, Oberon decides that Puck should then squeeze juice into Demetrius' eyes to make him fall in love with Helena. However, Puck makes a mistake and puts the juice in the eyes of Lysander instead. Helena then stumbles over Lysander and awakes him, which causes him to then fall in love with Helena, growing hatred for Hermia, and rejects her for her best friend and man stealer Helena. In the middle of all of this confusion, a group of workmen from Athens are rehearsing a play that they will perform at the Duke's wedding. The two main actors are Nick Bottom and Peter Quince. Puck mischieviously casts a spell on Nick Bottom and magically gives him the head of a donkey! But, Bottom is the very first thing that Titania sees as she awakes and instantly falls in love with him! As Titania and Bottom admire eachother, Oberon again orders Puck to make sure DEMETRIUS falls in love with Helena and eventually Puck gets it right. Although, with Lysander AND Demetrius follow Helena like lost puppies, Helena feels she is being mocked. Finally Oberon decides that all the confusion must come to an end and puts all four lovers to sleep and gives Lysander an antidote for the juice so that he will again fall in love with Hermia. Oberon also gives Titania an antidote and the Fairy King and Queen are reunited. Theseus and Hippolyta find the four lovers in the forest and see the love they have for their admired ones and decide that they should have a joint wedding. So, they all live happily ever after, whilst watching Nick Bottom and Peter Quince's dedicated play.

How is hermia ambitious in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Hermia is in love with Lysander, who is not the man (named Demetrius) her father wants her to marry. That was very ambitious for someone of her time, because usually daughters listened to whatever their fathers said. She also wanted to run away and marry Lysander. Thirdly, she stood up to the king and told him of her love for Lysander.
What would have happened if Oberon had not interfered?
We cannot be totally sure, but very possibly Hermia and Lysander may have made it to his aunt's place and got married.

If Hermia and Lysander did make it to the aunt's place, then Demetrius probably would have given up on her, but may have gone after another wealthy girl and not Helena.
