The setting of Act 1 Scene 1 in A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the palace of Theseus. This setting is important to the plot because <u>•It emphasizes the importance of marriage to the people of Athens since Theseus is about to be wed.</u>
Explanation:
The setting of Act 1, Scene 1 in A Midsummer Night's Dream is in the palace of Theseus who is a Duke of Athens and who is excited because he is about to wed Hippolyta in about 4 days.
In that same scene, Egeus meets the Duke to seek advice concerning his daughter Hermia who does not want to marry the man her father Egeus has approved of.
The setting serves to create awareness on the importance of marriage to the people of Athens and the power parents had over the choice of their children's life partners.

We get stressed and some people panic if something is not right.
