Answer 1

Answer:

A Midsummer Night´s Dream

Explanation:

This classic story revolves around the obstacles that are put between the lovers Hermia and Lysander and Helena and Demetrius. It starts when Hermia refuses to marry Demetrius, the one chosen by her father. A decisive role is played by Oberon, king of the fairies in the woods where Hermia is to meet Lysander. As Oberon was quarreling with Titania, the queen, he asks Puck, his counselor, to fetch the flower called Love in Idleness, in order to help restore the love between him and Titania.

Puck, however, has other plans and plays out his tricks by using the flower with the earthly lovers in a confusing way (Demetrius falling in love with Hermia and Helena with Lysander) during the night when Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius are sleeping in the woods.

When Oberon found out what Puck had done he punished him and corrected the mistakes, so in the end the lovers were reunited.
