Hermia’s the Greek God of trade, she is fearless, and hopeful and is deeply in love with Lysander and he too is deeply in love with her.  Hermia’s father Egeus’ whom very domineering, decides the only man for her is Demetrius and if she does not marry him, she must lose her life or become a nun. Hermia’s fearlessness gives her the courage to flee Athens with Lysander to the forest. It is disheartening that her father would feel he had the right to tell her who to love. In the end Duke Theseus overrules Egeus’ demands to Hermia’s and gives his consent for her and Lysander to be married. 

Bottom, who is a comic relief of the play is a weaver by trade and a confident actor. An actor who is preparing and rehearsing for his part in the Pyramus and Thisbe that is to be performed at the Theseus’s wedding.  As he is leaving the stage, Puck the prankster decides to have a little laugh and turns Bottom’s head into an Ass-head.  He has no idea what has happen and he approaches his friends, and they are all terrified thinking they have been haunted and run away. he then has an encounter with Titania where she believes to have fallen in love with him, till her spell is undone and she is mortified of her actions. Bottom was the butt end of the joke in the play. 

The naming of the characters in “A Midsummer Night's Dream” is another aspect of the play that is filled with irony. Shakespeare often used character names to highlight the contradictions and flaws in his characters, and this is evident in the names of the characters in “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” For example, the name of the fairy queen, Titania, is derived from the Latin word for “Titan,” which was a mythical race of powerful gods who ruled the universe before the Olympian gods. This name is ironic because, while Titania is a powerful fairy queen, she is also often portrayed as petty and foolish. She constantly bickers with her husband, Oberon, and engages in a love affair with Bottom, a human who has been transformed into an ass.

The possible intentions of Shakespeare in assigning these names to the characters are complex. One interpretation is that Shakespeare is using the names as a commentary on the characters' personalities and actions, highlighting their flaws and contradictions. Creating a rich and complex cast of characters that is both humorous and thought-provoking.

In conclusion, the setting and naming of the characters in the 1999 film adaptation of “A Midsummer Night's Dream” serve to highlight the play's themes of love, temptation, comedy, and the power of the imagination. The unique and imaginative setting and the use of irony and puns in the naming of the characters create a multi-layered play that is both humorous and well-crafted.

Shakespeare may have also aimed to connect Hypolita to the themes of love and desire central to the play. By naming her "one who is released from anger or hostility," he suggests that she will find peace and happiness through love.
