In act 4 of A Midsummer Night's Dream, balance is restored in love and society and in the forest and at court. The action also occurs in daylight rather than during a moonlit night. The enchantment is lifted from Bottom and Titania, and she and Oberon repair their relationship.

Just as importantly, the two sets of young lovers are properly paired up, and with Theseus's help, Hermia and her father, Egeus, are reconciled. When the courtly hunting party stumbles upon the sleeping lovers, he comments on their unity or "gentle concord."

Demetrius notes that his temporary passion for Hermia has vanished, saying that he "come[s] to [his] natural taste" for his true love, Hermia.

Theseus decides that the young couples should be married in the same wedding with him and Hippolyta.

Bottom is not only restored to his human appearance but he rejoins his rustic comrades, and his suitability for the role of Pyramus is acknowledged. Their troupe will finally get its chance to perform their play at the wedding.
