Act 3, Scene 1

In this scene we start with Quince and Bottom and all the other actors discussing and rehearsing their parts in the play for Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding. While they are rehearsing, Robin comes along and watches them. Then he turns Bottom's head into an "ass-head". Bottom isn't aware that his face is now grey, heavier and shaped differently than before, so when he goes back on stage everyone freaks out and flee from Bottom and he's totally clueless on why they are running away. After everyone leaves, Bottom starts to sing, and he wakes Titania up. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Bottom. Titania is now in love with Bottom. Bottom actually reacts way differently than I thought he would, he's modest about how Titania says that she's in love with him and he says that she has little reason to love him. Then Titania calls her oddly, but awesomely, named fairies and tells them to take care of Bottom. There is no better way to show that you love someone than to get away from them and get other people to take care of them.
