The number four is a motif in Midsummer Night's Dream. There are four young people. In Act I, Scene 1, Shakespeare talks of four days and four nights of dreams. The numerology symbology for the number four is that it represents stability and the elements of nature: four seasons, four directions, four winds. Despite the churning characteristics of nature's elements, they represent solidity, calmness and home. Further, the number four highlights the need for persistence and endurance.

In the play, Oberon desires to give stability to the love relationships of the four young people, but, like a wayward wind, Puck sends things awry. And lovelorn Helena needs to be persistent and enduring to continue to pursue Demetrius. In they end, they all find solidity, calmness and home with each other.
