Question:

Discuss the role of the play-within-the-play in Act V of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Does the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe bear any relevance to the main play, or do you think it is merely, in the hands of the craftsmen, a comical interlude? What effect does the craftsmen's production of their play have on overall tone of A Midsummer Night's Dream?
