Loyal
Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 6-34
"My mistress with a monster is in love.
Near to her close and consecrated bower,
While she was in her dull and sleeping hour,
A crew of patches, rude mechanicals,
That work for bread upon Athenian stalls,
Were met together to rehearse a play
Intended for great Theseus' nuptial-day.
The shallowest thick-skin of that barren sort,
Who Pyramus presented, in their sport
Forsook his scene, and entered in a brake:
When I did him at this advantage take,
An ass’s nole I fixed on his head:
Anon his Thisbe must be answered,
And forth my mimic comes. When they him spy,
As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort,
Rising and cawing at the gun’s report,
Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky,
So, at his sight away his fellows fly;
And, at our stamp, here o'er and o'er one falls;
He murder cries and help from Athens calls.
Their sense thus weak, lost with their fears thus strong,
Made senseless things begin to do them wrong;
For briers and thorns at their apparel snatch;
Some sleeves, some hats, from yielders all things catch.
I led them on in this distracted fear,
And left sweet Pyramus translated there:
When in that moment so it came to pass,
Titania waked and straightway loved an ass."
Before:
Oberon is wondering about whom Titania fell
in love with. Then Puck enters and reports to Oberon that it was very
successful.
After:
Oberon is very happy about what Puck has done to Titania. Then Oberon asked about the Athenian he told Puck to put the love juice on. Demetrius and Hermia enters, Puck said that Hermia is the woman he saw but not the man. Demetrius is talking to Hermia and asking why she doesn’t love him. Then Demetrius got tired of following her around and asking her questions, he lied down and had a nap. So while Demetrius is sleeping, Oberon told Puck to get the flower again and apply the liquid on Demetrius’ eyelids.
Puck is telling Oberon that Titania is in love with a monster. A group of actors were rehearsing for Theseus’ wedding. The most stupid one that played Pyramus finished his scene and went to sit outside. Puck then turned him into a donkey’s head. When it was Bottom’s next cue, he went back and everyone got so scared and ran away. Then Titania woke up and saw Bottom, a man with a donkey’s head. So Titania fell in love with an ass. He’s loyal because he does everything Oberon tells him to do. He tells him every little detail of what Oberon wants to know. He follows Oberon’s behaviors
without questioning. As he says, his duty is to "jest to Oberon and make him smile"

Mischievous
Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 43-58
"Thou speak’st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
I jest to Oberon and make him smile
When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile,
Neighing in likeness of a filly foal:
And sometime lurk I in a gossip’s bowl,
In very likeness of a roasted crab,
And when she drinks, against her lips I bob
And on her withered dewlap pour the ale.
The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale,
Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me;
Then slip I from her and down topples she,
And “tailor” cries, and falls into a cough;
And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh;
And waxen in their mirth, and neeze, and swear
A merrier hour was never wasted there.
But, room, fairy! Here comes Oberon."
Before:
Puck is gossiping with other fairies about Oberon and Titania
fighting over an Indian boy. Now Oberon and Titania refuse to speak to each
other. Then the fairies soon realize that they’re talking to the mischievous
spirit: Robin Goodfellow.
After:
Oberon and Titania keep fighting. Titania
said the reason Oberon came to the forest is because he wants to see Hippolyta.
And he is celebrating Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding. After all their
quarreling, Oberon told Puck to get a flower called love-in-idleness. If you put
the juice of the flower on someone’s eyelids, that person will fall in love with
the next live creature they see. Oberon will drop the liquor on Titania’s
eyelids when she falls asleep.
Puck is chatting with the fairies. He’s saying he tricks fat and overly fed horses into thinking he’s a young female horse. He hides in a woman’s cup as an apple and when the woman takes a sip, the drink will spill all over. Sometimes an old lady tries to sit on him when he’s a three legged stool, and the lady falls down. This passage talks about how he tricks people and that’s why I’d say he’s mischievous. These are only a few things that he does for entertainment, he does a lot more. He tricks people for fun and laughs. He's willing to do any prank anyone. He’s always having fun when tricking someone, just like when he turned Bottom into a donkey. Without his mischievousness this wouldn't be a good play. If he didn't apply the liquid on the wrong person, there would be no Midsummer Night's Dream.

Impulsive
_Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 110-115
"Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover’s fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
Before:
Demetrius found Hermia in the woods and they started arguing. Hermia is blaming Demetrius that he killed Lysander. Demetrius can’t argue back so he decided to rest for a bit. Oberon said to Puck that he had put the love juice on the wrong Athenian’s eyelids, and told him to go find Helena and bring her here so Demetrius will wake up and fall in love with her.
After:
Soon Helena enters with Lysander following her. Oberon and Puck were watching too, Puck thinks it would be funny if two men pursue the same girl. Demetrius then wakes up and sees Helena. Now Lysander and Demetrius are both in love with Helena. But Helena thinks they’re teasing her and is very furious.
Puck and Oberon are watching Demetrius and then Helena comes. Puck thinks it’s ridiculous that the man he accidently put the love juice on is begging Helena to love him. He’s saying that mortals are foolish. It shows that he’s impulsive because he didn’t check if it was the right Athenian man that he was supposed to put the love juice on. He’s saying they’re foolish, but it was because of his impulsiveness. He left the potion in both of the man’s eyes and didn’t do anything until Oberon told him to get the cure. He doesn’t think before he does things, it’s all about having fun to him.
