Bottom is full of advice and self-confidence but frequently makes silly mistakes and misuses language. His simultaneous nonchalance about the beautiful Titania’s sudden love for him and unawareness of the fact that Puck has transformed his head into that of an ass mark the pinnacle of his foolish arrogance.]]> 2019-02-11 10:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329779166 SimonaMNL https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329779318 Whereas Puck’s humor is often mischievous and subtle, the comedy surrounding the overconfident weaver Nick Bottom is hilariously overt. The central figure in the subplot involving the craftsmen’s production of the Pyramus and Thisbe story, Bottom dominates his fellow actors with an extraordinary belief in his own abilities (he thinks he is perfect for every part in the play) and his comical incompetence (he is a terrible actor and frequently makes rhetorical and grammatical mistakes in his speech). The humor surrounding Bottom often stems from the fact that he is totally unaware of his own ridiculousness; his speeches are overdramatic and self-aggrandizing, and he seems to believe that everyone takes him as seriously as he does himself. This foolish self-importance reaches its pinnacle after Puck transforms Bottom’s head into that of an ass. When Titania, whose eyes have been anointed with a love potion, falls in love with the now ass-headed Bottom, he believes that the devotion of the beautiful, magical fairy queen is nothing out of the ordinary and that all of the trappings of her affection, including having servants attend him, are his proper due. His unawareness of the fact that his head has been transformed into that of an ass parallels his inability to perceive the absurdity of the idea that Titania could fall in love with him.]]> 2019-02-11 10:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329779318 SimonaMNL https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329782268 2019-02-11 10:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329782268 SimonaMNL https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329782857 2019-02-11 10:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329782857 SimonaMNL https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329784507 2019-02-11 10:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329784507 SimonaMNL https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329784679 2019-02-11 10:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/SimonaMNL/xna8coouls16/wish/329784679
