Question

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST "Though Bottom often steals the show in performance, Puck is usually considered the most important character in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Comparing Puck to Bottom, why might Puck be considered the protagonist? In what way does Puck's spirit dominate the mood of the play? In what ways does the comedy surrounding Puck differ from that surrounding Bottom?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Puck could also be referred to as the protagonist because he resolves the problems in the play; even though he created them he wants to make amends.

Puck's spirit, or energetic, devious nature, dominates the playful, comic mood of the play through his mischievous, manipulative anti. Shakespeare's audiences  firmly believed in the supernatural—in "hobgoblins"

Answer 2

Answer:

If you are considering a Comedy structurally, then neither Puck nor Bottom is the protagonist.  Both are characters whose actions Puck contribute to the complications of the main plot or whose actions Bottom comprise a subplot that comments on the characters/events of the main plot.  Since neither's actions are actually the driving force of the main plot, neither can be considered the protagonist.  So, who then, is the protagonist?

Classically, a comedy must end in at least one marriage, and it is the central characters, the protagonists who goes through the main trials and tribulations of the play, only to have all ironed smoothly out for the "happy" ending in marriage.
