He mimics their voices and causes them to get lost in different parts of the woods.

Helena

Helena

They plan to perform for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta.

Bottom

It is Oberon’s idea.

They are Titania’s attendants who also wait on Bottom while Titania is in love with him.

They are the king and queen of the fairies.

His mother was a dear friend of hers.

The seasons are all mixed up.

One of Cupid’s arrows struck it.

They fall in love with the first person/thing they see when they wake up.

Helena

Three

Oberon and Titania

Robin Goodfellow

Bottom

Oberon tells him to put the potion in Demetrius’s eyes, but Robin puts it in Lysander’s eyes by mistake. So then Lysander is in love with Helena instead of Hermia.
