Act 4, Scene 1 and Scene 2 summaries

In act 4, scene 1, Bottom and Titania fall asleep and Oberon puts the juice of a flower that is supposed to reverse the effects of the love juice from the flower that cupid shot on Titania's eye lids. When she wakes up she is disgusted by Bottom and Oberon tells her that she gave him the Indian boy (even though she was under a spell when she did it). Also, Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena are found by Theseus, Hippolyta and a bunch of others and think that what happened the night before was just a dream (like the name of the book). When they go back to Athens, Theseus overrides the command that he gave Hermia to marry Demetrius because Demetrius now loves Helena and everything is the way it is supposed to be. Hermia then marries Lysander and Helena marries Demetrius.

In act 4, scene 2, Bottom wakes up and thinks that he had a dream as well.

(If you want to add more to my summaries, please post a comment on which scene and which part it was please)
