Answer to Question #106652 in English for Joe mamma

Question

How does Shakespeare create a parody of a love story in Act 3, scene 1 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream?

Answer 1

Shakespeare creates a parody of love by developing romance with fantastic aplomb and enhances the comedy of the incongruity by making Bottom fully unaware of his transformed state. Instead, Bottom is so self-confident that he finds it fairly unremarkable that the beautiful fairy queen should wish desperately to become his lover.
