MSND Summary: ACT TWO Scene 2

When Titania falls asleep after hearing the singing from her train of fairies, Oberon sneakingly puts the flower juice onto her eyes, while chanting a song to get her to fall in love with the first thing she wakes up to.

Meanwhile, Lysander and Hermia enter arguing whether or not to sleep with eachother or not. Of course, Hermia hates the idea, and they end up sleeping with space between them. While they are sleeping, Puck enters angered because he cannot find the Athenians Oberon was speaking of. He then sees Lysander and Hermia sleeping, thinking that he has found the right couple. Mistakingly, he adds the juice to Lysander's eyes and thinks he has correctly followed his master's orders.

Then enters Demetrius and Helena. Demetrius continues to yell at her and wants her to stop chasing him. She continues to argue back, but then gets tired from chasing him all this time. While she slows down, she sees Lysander sleeping, and wakes him up. Because of the flower juice, he falls in love with Helena. He confesses his love for her, but Helena thinks Lysander is lying and stomps away. Lysander chases after her, leaving Hermia sleeping alone.
