A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act Three Scene One

In English Class, we were asked to translate and summarize Act Three Scene One of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Act Three Scene One:
In Act Three Scene One, Bottom and his fellow actors begin to rehearse their play inside of the forest. The rehearsal, however, does not go smoothly. Peter Quince repeatedly stops the men to correct them on the lines of the play. In addition to this, every one of the actors requests that a prologue to the play be written. They do not want to frighten the audience with their characters. During the middle of the play, Puck invisibly spies on the actors. Soon, Puck distracts Bottom and leads the actor off stage. Once off stage, Puck secretly turns Bottom's head into a donkey's head.

Unaware that his head has been turned into a donkey's head, Bottom reenters the stage and begins to recite his lines. Every single actor gasps and retreats runs away in fear. Newly rejected, Bottom sings in order to prove to the other actors that he is not afraid. Bottom's songs cause Fairy Queen Titania to wake up. As soon as Titania opens her eyes she falls madly in love with Bottom--donkey head and all. Titania then orders her fairies to pamper her new love.
