In which play does Bottom get transformed into a donkey?

• A. Othello
• B. King Lear
• C. A Midsummer Night's Dream
• D. Much Ado About Nothing

Answer: (C)

Magical mischief and fairy influence drive the humor in this Shakespearean comedy. In that work, a weaver named Bottom is transformed by the mischievous Puck, under Oberon’s instruction, into a donkey. Titania, under a love spell, then falls for the donkey-headed Bottom, creating a blend of comedy and whimsy that highlights how enchantment can distort perception and affection. This donkey transformation is a standout moment that showcases themes of illusion, appearance versus reality, and the playful power of magic in relationships. The other plays listed do not feature this kind of magical transformation—one is a tragedy about jealousy and power, another a family drama about aging and authority, and the last a witty romance built on deception without magic. So the donkey transformation belongs to the play famous for its fairy-driven mischief.
