36. Puck's
potion
Lysander lies
utterly exhausted by recent events which have left their
violent traces on the smudged circle from which he has
escaped. Puck, who is learning that thoughtless actions in
the name of fun can have dire consequences, attempts to make
up for his mistake.
The blocking is
very similar in the Mask version, though mood is heightened
more expressively than realistically under a cold 'blue
moon'.
In the Bar version
(Bar 37.
Puck drugs Lysander), on the other hand, Puck gets even more
carried away, drinking the (alcoholic) love potion himself.
Context seems to determine interpretation.
