InA Midsummer Night’s Dream, the situation of the lovers is resolved in Act IV with Act V devoted to the play-within-a-play of Pyramus and This be. This represents a departure from the five-act structure. Why do you think Shakespeare focuses on the play-within-a-play rather than continuing to concentrate on the situation of the Athenian lovers or Oberon and Titania? How does the play-within-a-play and the good-natured humor of it summarize and resolve the issues presented inA Midsummer Night’s Dream?
