Question

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, after Bottom returns from wandering alone in the woods, why do his fellow workmen cry out, "thou art changed. O monstrous! O strange! Help! Run!"?
A.
Oberon has turned Bottom into a lion, which is the part Bottom wanted in the play.

B.
Puck has cast a spell on Bottom and given him the head of a donkey.

C.
Titania has given Bottom to Oberon to be the fairy king's page so that she can keep the changeling boy.

D.
Lysander has attacked Bottom and scarred him for speaking to his beloved Helena.

Answer 1

B. Puck has cast a spell on Bottom and given him the head of a donkey.

In a Midsummer Night's Dream, Bottom is cursed to have the head of a donkey so that when Titania falls in love with him, she will be falling in love with something ugly. This will make Oberon happy because he had been fighting with her, so he cast a love spell on her to get back at her. So when Bottom is changed, his friends start with fright and run away.
