Puck In A Midsummer Night's Dream
In the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck is a complicated being. He is always looking for trouble in every situation. the truth about where he is and his roles in the play.
Puck’s personality is very light-hearted, careless, and obedient. You can easily see that he is very energetic. He is always hopping around and “up and down and up and down.” He also seems careless about his mistakes. When Oberon pointed out that he put the potion on Lysander instead of Demetrius, he treated it like it was just fun and games.
