In the beginning of act V scene i, Theseus' wife Hippolyta explains how strange it is that all four of the lovers had the same outrages dream. Thesus just blows off the comment and explains that when people are in love they do crazy things. Philostrate then explains to Theueus that the play is about a very sad and tragic comedy and is a terriable play. They procced to see the play anyway and credit the actors for there effort. In the begining of the play the prologue uses terriable punctuiation and horriable grammer making the audience feel insulted. The prologue also repeats the whole plot to the audience and ruins the whole play. The wall then come's out and explains that he is the wall and that his two fingers represent the whole which the two lovers Pyramus and Thisbe commomicute through. The two lovers plan to meet at Ninny's grave. Then we are introduced to two more characters. Lion and Moonshine. They both go on and on about their characters and the audience gets frustrated because Moonshine portrays the moon as a lantarn and portrays himself as the man on the moon. The audience then wonders why he is not inside the lantern. Pyramus then kill' s himself because he thinks his lover Thisbe is dead. He dies by repediatly saying "here I go, here I go, and now im dead..." Thisbe then sees her dead lover Pyramus and stabs herself to death.
The fariy Queen Titania and King Oberon are happy now and speak of the beautiful children they are going to have. The play ends off by Puck telling everyone that everything was a dream.
