Envy and Self-Comparison:How happy some o’er other some can be!Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so;He will not know what all but he do know.Helena expresses envy towards Hermia’s happiness and laments that, despite being considered equally beautiful by others in Athens, Demetrius does not acknowledge her attractiveness.
Titania and her attendants pamper Bottom, who falls asleep with her. Oberon, watching them, tells Robin that Titania has given him the Indian boy and thus they can now remove the spells from Titania and Bottom. Reunited, Titania and Oberon use music to charm Bottom and the four lovers into a deep sleep, and then exit.Theseus and Hippolyta, accompanied by Egeus and others, have come to the woods to celebrate May Day. They discover the four lovers asleep and wake them. Lysander now loves Hermia again, and Demetrius loves Helena. When Lysander reveals how he and Hermia fled Athens, Egeus begs Theseus to punish him. But when Demetrius announces that he now loves Helena, Theseus overrides Egeus and decrees that Lysander will marry Hermia and Demetrius Helena when Theseus himself weds Hippolyta. As the lovers depart for Athens, Bottom awakes and attempts to recall his night’s experience, which seems to him now a dream.
Some supporters noted that a resolution states best practices, but is not legally binding. They called for city ordinances that mandate rules for federal agents in Helena. Others called for amendments requiring police to publish data on racial profiling, track any instance of federal coordination and to mandate de-masking of law enforcement. Commissioner Melinda Reed moved two of those amendments, but they failed.
