Question

In a well-organized paragraph, write a summary of Act V.

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

In the final act, Theseus speaks with Hippolyta about the mix-ups with the love potion. Theseus does not believe this and says that darkness and love often cause the imagination to concoct stories. Hippolyta notes that if this is case, however, that is strange that the lovers tell the story in the same way. Theseus summons Egeus to read off a list of possible plays to perform at the wedding. Every one is dismissed. Theseus is then told that the craftsmen have rehearsed for the Pyramus and Thisbe story. Egeus begs the duke not to see it, but he refuses. The actors come in to act out the story, but do a really clumsy job and end up making the situation hilarious. After the play is concluded, Oberon blesses the lovers with a fairy song, telling them that they will never endure the fate of Pyramus and Thisbe.

Answer 2

Act V of A Midsummer Night's Dream is rather out of place because the play officially ended with Act IV. Act V is a sort of an epilogue where characters comment on what has happened before and where they decide to have some fun by watching a play about Pyramus and Thisbe. The play within the play is a tragedy, which Shakespeare incorporated in order to show that there is a thin line between tragedy and comedy. After the play has ended, everyone leaves that place apart from Puck, who is now talking directly to the audience, telling them they shouldn't be offended by anything they saw, and if they were, they should just pretend it was all a dream.
