Answer 1

Answer:

Peter Quince and the other characters who put on the play Pyramus and Thisbe for the duke are all local citizens of Athens. They are average craftsmen from the town who are akin to a local community theater, and they are dabbling in a new hobby of performing plays. For example, Nick Bottom is a weaver, Snout is a tinker, Starveling is a tailor, and Snug is a joiner. (A tinker is one who repairs pots and pans and a joiner is one who does woodwork.) Flute is a younger man, possibly a teenager, who plays the woman, Thisbe.
