In Act 3 of A Midsummer Night's Dream, there are several soliloquy dialogues that state the intention of the character carrying out the action. In Scene 2, Puck reports back to Oberon about his dealings with Titania. He states that he has been successful in doing as he wished- squeezing the juice of the flower into the Fairy Queen's eyes. Puck also tells Oberon that the Fairy Queen ended up falling in love with Bottom, who now has a donkey's head, which makes him looks like a monster. In addition, Puck also tells that he has juiced one of the Athenians, the wrong one of course. By the end of the scene, Oberon and Puck have to conjure a way to fix the mess they have caused amongst the four lovers. The way they will do it, I predict, will possibly through some more magic, which Shakespeare shows an abundance of in this play.
