Act 2 Scene 1&2

Now in class we heard Act 2 scene 1 and 2 and this is my personal summary of what happened

Scene 1

While in the forest, 2 fairies meet. One of the is Robin, aka Puck, who is the servant of Oberon, the king of the fairies. The other is a servant of Titania, the queen of the fairies. Puck warns Titania's faerie to not let her come near Oberon because the fairies are mad at each other. Then coming to join their servants, Oberon and Titania both appear. They start in argument and quarrel over a small Indian prince. Titania has him as her attendant, but Oberon wished to have him as his knight. Neither agrees to give up the child. So when Titania leaves, Oberon asks Puck to go and find him a magic flower that was once hit by cupids arrows. If you rub this flowers juices on a sleepers eyelids, when they wake they will fall in love with the first thing they see. While puck is gone, Oberon witnesses Helena and Demetrius arguing about love. Lovesick helena wishes for demitrius and the more he pushes her away, the more in love she falls and the more demetrius love Hermia. Oberon wished to mess with the love triangle and when Puck returns, he instructs him to rub the flower juice on an Athenian man's eyes who is in the forest.

Scene 2

After Titania leaves oberon, she falls asleep by the stream bank. Oberon himself puts the flowers juice onto her eyelids so when she wakes she will fall in love with a beast. Lysander and Hermia are also walking through the forest on their escape from the rules of Athens. It is late and Lysander and Hermia decide to spend the night in the forest but keep their distance as respect to customs. At this time puck is also looking for an Athena man, and happens upon Lysander so he rubs the flower juice on his eyelids. After this, Helena and demetrius are still making their way through the woods, and demetrius once and for all tells Helena to stay away from him no matter how much she pleads. The noise wakes Lysander and he first sees helena and falls completely in love. Helena is not pleased at all and is very insulted. She thinks he is making fun of her and is very angry so she leaves but Lysander chases after her. Hermia later awakes to a missing Lysander and wanders into the woods to find him.
