Hermia and Lysander escape to the woods, pursued by Demetrius and Helena. Meanwhile, the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, have quarreled. To spite Titania, Oberon instructs the mischievous Puck to use the juice of a magic flower to make her fall in love with the first thing she sees when she wakes. He also instructs Puck to apply the same magic to Demetrius so that he will fall in love with Helena. However, Puck gets it all wrong.
