What does magic represent?
 Magic is the delightful thread that runs through the tapestry
of A MidsummerNight's Dream. Magic is about the
supernatural elements of the mythic and fairy world (like
Cupid's arrows on a starry night), but it's also a simpler, more
natural force. There's the magic of love, the magic of the
morning dew, and even the magic of poetry and art.
Magic on the story
Magic is an important role in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. As a
reoccurring theme, Puck's use of magic creates humor, conflict and
balance in the play.
Puck‘s magic of changes Bottom’s head into that of a donkey. Puck's
own use magic adds more humor to the already comical and over-
confident character of Bottom. Puck's magic also creates a great deal
of humor in the dealings of Bottom and Titania. The contrasted humor
is clearly shown as Titania weaves flowers into the hair of Bottom's
donkey-like head. Titania is a beautiful and delicate creature, while
Bottom is completely grotesque. Magic creates an unreal image of
Bottom, which in turn creates a comical contrast between Bottom and
Titania. As part of the already comical sub-plot, Bottom's altering
through magic adds even more humor to the overall play.
