It’s a comedy story. It tells us the events that happens during the marriage of Theseus with Hippolyta. It includes the adventures of four Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors controlled by the fairies who inhabit the forest where most of the play takes place.

I think William Shakespeare made this story for educational interes. He wants you to know that the fantastic and superficial dreams can come true.

The actors arrived in the forest to rehearse. Puck turned Bottom, one of the actors, into an ass and when Titania woke up, the ass was the first thing that she saw, so she felt in love with him. Meanwhile, Oberon poured the magic potion into Demetrius's eyes and when he woke up he found Helena. Now both Lysander and Demetrius are in love with Helena, who believes that they are making fun of her. When Hermia arrived with them she couldn’t believe what’s happening, especially when Lysander and Demetrius started fighting for Helena’s love. Oberon, watching the scene, made Puck put Lysander and Demetrius to sleep and poured other potion on Lysander's eyelids, making sure that when he wakes up, Hermia will be the first person he’ll see.
