Love and Magic in A Midsummer Night's Dream

In Athens, Demetrius loves Hermia, who loves Lysander. Helena loves Demetrius. Oberon, the fairy king, plans to use a magic flower to make Titania fall in love with the first thing she sees. Puck mistakenly applies the spell to Lysander, causing him to fall for Helena. Chaos ensues as love is misdirected. Puck also transforms Bottom's head into a donkey's, leading to Titania falling for him. Eventually, Oberon and Puck reverse the spells, restoring love to its rightful order. Everyone wakes up, believing it was all a dream, and love is restored among the couples.
