Puck's Diary Entry 1

23/8/2015

Today, Oberon told me to go and retrieve love juice so that Titania the fairy queen would love him again, and so they would stop fighting. This is what he said to me "The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid will make or man or woman madly dote." I retrieved the love juice as quickly as I could telling Oberon "I'll put a girdle round the Earth in forty minutes." Oberon placed some of the love juice onto Titania's eyelids but at that time a man named Bottom walked in and just for a bit of fun I turned his head into that of an ass, Bottom had been wandering around when he found Titania asleep in her bed and she awoke and fell in love with Bottom instead of falling in love with Oberon. Oberon, of course, was not too pleased with me and I was sent to put some love juice on the eyes of Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena who had, meanwhile, become lost. The problem was that Helena loved Demetrius but he didn't love her back, instead he loved Hermia. Lysander was also in love with Hermia but since i put the love juice on his eyes he fell in love with Helena instead but Hermia still loved Lysander. After I snuck down from my rock, while Demetrius was asleep, and placed some love juice over his eyelids and Lysander had fallen in love with Helena and Demetrius awoke from his sleep and pursued Helena instead of Hermia leaving Hermia with no one to love or love her back. After a while Demetrius and Lysander started fighting for Helena’s love and Hermia and Helena started to fight over  Demetrius and Lysander. Demetrius and Lysander pulled Helena away and left Hermia in the mud, they laughed and teased her. Eventually I realised what I had done and put the love juice into Demetrius’s, Lysander’s, Hermia’s and Helana’s eyes so that everything went back to the way it was.
