How does Bottom behave when Titania declares her love for him?

He accepts it calmly as no more than his due

He runs away from her in complete terror

He begs her to take away his ass's head

He confesses he is in love with Thisbe

Why does Helena think Hermia has joined in mocking her?

She cannot believe both men love her truly

Hermia laughs at her in front of Theseus

Hermia stole Demetrius's letters

Puck tells her Hermia planned it

What does Puck mean by 'Lord, what fools these mortals be!'?

Human lovers are ridiculous to watching spirits

Mortals are wiser than fairies think

Oberon has made a foolish mistake

Bottom is the only fool in the wood
