Puck


Puck is one crucial character in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." His real name is Robin Goodfellow, but everybody calls him Puck. He thinks he is an entertainer and claims that he is Oberon's perfessional jester. He is a smart minded, dishonest fairy. At times he is very tricky and mysterious, sometimes too tricky that he scares the women in the village.

Throughout the play, Puck made some really bad mistakes. Oberon told him to put flower potion on Demetrius' eyes so he will dall in love with Helena. Instead Puck put it on Lysanders' eyes and screwed everything up. It was a tiny mistake but so much revolved around it. It turned out to be a big mess and it screwed up Lysander's and Hermia's relationship since Lysander was in love with Helena because that's what the potion did to him. At the end, Puck fixed his mistake by gathering all the lovers and putting the flower potion ob tge appropriate characters eyes to reverse the situation.
