Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why did Hippolyta have to marry Theseus?

Answer: Theseus won a war against the Amazons.

Hippolyta actually was the leader of the Amazons. Since Theseus and his army won over them, he took her as "prisoner of war." He decided to wed her. She is slowly learning to love Theseus and get used to the idea of getting married.

2. Helena loved Demetrius, and he loved her, but also loved Hermia at the same time. Hermia hated Demetrius and loved Lysander, and Lysander loved her back.

Answer: False

Helena loved Demetrius, but Demetrius fell OUT of love with Helena and started loving Hermia. He didn't love both at the same time. Hermia DID love Lysander and Lysander loves Hermia. Egeus, Hermia's father, wants her to marry Demetrius or be forced to die or live in a convent.

3. What is the name of the play that Bottom and his friends will put on for the king and queen at their wedding day?

Answer: The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe

The play was called "The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe". Nick Bottom, the weaver, plays Pyramus. Fransis Flute, the bellows-mender, plays Thisbe (a woman). Peter Quince plays Thisbe's father and the prologue. Robin Starveling, the tailor, plays Thisbe's mother. Snug, the joiner, plays the lion. Tom Snout, the tinker, plays Pyramus' father.

4. Why is Oberon, king of fairies, fighting with Titania, the queen of fairies?

Answer: They are fighting over a little changeling boy.

They are fighting over a little, Indian, changeling boy. Titania's servant was pregnant( she was mortal) and Titania promised her if she died giving birth, she would take care of her baby. Oberon wants him for his own personal use. He wants him as his pageboy. Although, when fairies fight, the seasons do change.

5. What is the flower called that Oberon uses on Titania to steal the changeling boy?

Answer: Love-In-Idleness

If you drop the juice from the flower "love-in-idleness" onto someone's eyelids, it makes the first living thing they see amazing. They start loving them. The story behind "love-in-idleness" is Cupid was aiming for a poor girl, that loved a boy who hated her. He missed and hit a field of flowers. The only way you can cure this is to do it over (but while they are sleeping).

6. The first living thing Titania sees after her enchantment is a donkey's head on a mortal.

Answer: True

The donkey's head belongs to Nick Bottom. Robin Goodfellow, a mischievous fairy that works for Oberon, decided to have some fun, and put a donkey's head on Nick Bottom, the weaver. He starts singing and wakes up Titania.

7. Why do Demetrius AND Lysander fall in love with Helena, not Hermia?

Answer: Robin Goodfellow dropped "love-in-idleness" juice in their eyes.

Robin Goodfellow dropped "love-in-idleness" juice in their eyes. Oberon ordered Robin Goodfellow to put the juice into the boy wearing Athenian clothes. Robin Goodfellow saw Lysander first, but Oberon meant Demetrius. Then, he fixed the mistake, but forgot to change Lysander back. Then, he finally did.

8. Theseus loved the play.

Answer: True

Theseus seemed pretty excited about it, but Hippolyta kept pointing out mistakes and flaws.

9. Identify the speaker of this quote: "Tie up my love's tongue, bring him silently."
