A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the most striking feature of Shakespeare's comedy due to its dramatic accomplishment. As many audiences had loved and enjoyed it for hundreds of years through out the generations, the play is covering a wide field of research, especially on the probability of plot and the harmonious world of imagination and myth. The core power to move the dramatic conflict is the satisfaction of each character's own desire. Some of them fulfill theirs by experiencing the magical power of Oberon and Puck in the forest, and some others fulfill them by experiencing the play within a play in the palace of Athens. To gratify their desires, Shakespeare sets his characters into a certain situation, the metamorphosis. The one that cuts out a conspicuous figure in the metamorphosis is Bottom the Weaver. It is obvious that Bottom has been transfigured into an outstanding appearance as a bestial creature. Because his metamorphosis is based on his natural characteristics, his inner personality as well as outlooks has transformed. Titania who is obsessed by Bottom with an ass head, is the fairy queen that was influenced by her husband Oberon's love-in-idleness juice. To achieve Titania's attention and get the changeling boy of hers, Oberon plans to let her fall in love with this ass head. This strange combination of Bottom and Titania ends with their own satisfaction of desire, and Titania finally turns her affection to her beloved husband. The four lovers of Athens, who are the representations of tangled love affair, come into the forest and get influenced by the magical potion. As a result, they tend to find the right person for each of them and finally happily get married along with Theseus and Hippolyta. The Duke and Duchess, Theseus and Hippolyta, are preparing their wedding ceremony right after the war between Athens and Amazon had ended. Their marriage is the frame plot of the play, and in the last Act, these two noble lords changes their point of views by being an audience of the play within the play, Pyramus and Thisby. Lastly, the mechanics who are amateur actors preparing 'Pyramus and Thisby', want to earn money and raise their social position by presenting this play. And with Bottom grown after his "Bottom's dream" in the forest, they successfully complete they performance in front of the married Athenian aristocrats. A Midsummer Night's Dream is all about the "dream" of each character's desire. They have their own desires to be achieved and Bottom the Weaver leads the other character's metamorphosis by his mature feature after his transformation in the forest.
