They plan to sneek out of Athens in during the night and go to his aunts house which is outside of Athenian law then get married.

Her basic dilemma is whether or not to do as she is told or fallow her heart. Theseus tells her that she can go and do as she was told or die or go to a nunnery. Lysander suggests that they run away from Athens and the get married.

Act I, Scene 2 8. Why does Nick Bottom want to play all the parts? He wants to play all the parts because he thinks he is the best actor in the world.

9. In what way is this scene funny? Why do you suppose Shakespeare included this scene? It is funny because it is in total contrast with the other scene and shows how real people act. Shakespeare probably included this scene to show the audience what it is like to be in an acting troop.

Act III, Scene 1 25. How are the actors going to keep from scaring the ladies when Pyramus kills himself or when the lion roars? By providing dialogue that tells the ladies that Pyramus is not really going to die and that Pyramus will do no harm to himself.

26. How are the actors going to manage the setting/scenery such as the moonlight and the wall? For the moon light will hopefully use the real moon. If not they will use a man with a lantern that represents the moon. For the wall they will use a person who is pretending to be the wall.
