Act 2, Scene 1 & 2

In Act 2 Scene 1, Robin or Puck and a fairy talk about how Titania and Oberon should not see each other. They are angry at each other because Titania has a little Indian boy as her attendant. And Oberon wants the boy for himself. But Titania doesn't want to give up the boy. Next the fairy recognized that who Robin or Puck is and describes some pranks he has played on people.

Then Oberon and Titania come in. Oberon is a very powerful, manly King of the Fairies. And Titania is powerful as well and is the Queen of the Fairies. They both question each others motives and Titania accuses Oberon of loving Hippolyta (who is getting married to Theseus). Titania talks about how she knows he has been unfaithful to her. Then Titania talks about how the boys mother was dear to her so she will take care of the boy like her own. Oberon says that he will get the little Indian boy.

Oberon tells Puck to go get a flower that will make a person fall in love with the next thing they see. All he has to do is sprinkle this flowers juice on the persons eyelids then this will happen. Oberon says that he will sprinkle the love flower juice on Titania's eyelids so that when she wakes, she will fall in love with the next things she sees. And this will distract Titania enough, so that Oberon can take the little Indian boy. Then Oberon tells Puck to use the flower on Demetrius to love Helena.

In Act 2 Scene 2, Puck thinks that Lysander is Demetrius so he uses the love flower on Lysander instead. Then Helena comes back and wakes Lysander up to make sure he is not dead. Lysander had the flowers juice on his eyelids so he falls in love with Helena. Helena tells him he cannot love her. Next, Helena walks away and Lysander follows. Hermia wakes up because she was having a bad dream. But when Hermia wakes Lysander is gone.
