The theme of this play is mostly on envy of people's roles.It goes when Quince tells Nick Bottom to play the role as Pyramus , a character who kills himself very gallantly for love.Athough Pyramus was an amazing and sad role, Nick Bottom didn't want to play the role as Pyramus, he wanted to play the role as Hercules or play a swaggerer, as these roles are very heroic.
Later Quince told Francis Flute that he was going to play the role as Thisbe who is the lady Pyramus will fall in love with.But Francis Flute did not want to play the role as a women as he had planned to grow a long beard.
Then Nick Bottom jumped in the conversation saying that he would love to play the role as the Thisbe , as he could do an extraordinary little voice.But later his wish to play the role as Thisbe ,was rejected by Quince and Francis Flute played the role as Thisbe.
After that , Robin Starveling was told to play the role as Thisbe's mother.And Quince assigned himself to play as Thisbe's father.
Sung was later told to play as the lion, and he was only allowed to roar loudly. But because Snug admits that he is slow at learning, she wanted his lines as the lion written out.
After everyone know their part, they were told to meet at the palace wood, a mile outside the town. They will rehearse there as head for the city where there they will do their play.
