2.1. During Pyramus and Thisbe, the "play within the play," Snug is quick to point out that the ladies in the audience should not fear, because, although he may act the role of the lion, he is none other than Snug the Joiner.
3. Snout-
3.1. Snout plays the role of the Wall in the Mechanicals' production of Pyramus and Thisbe. More specifically, he plays the role of the hole in the wall through which Pyramus and Thisbe communicate. It is though the hole in the wall that the two lovers make plans to meet at Ninus's tomb.
4. Starveling
4.1. As one of the not-so-talented Mechanicals, Starveling plays the role of Moonshine in Pyramus and Thisbe.
5. Flute
5.1. Another one of the Mechanicals, Flute plays the role of Thisbe in Pyramus and Thisbe. Flute's character Thisbe dies onstage.
6. Peter Quince
6.1. Peter Quince is one of the illustrious Mechanicals who puts on the play Pyramus and Thisbe. In this mockery of a "play within the play," Quince delivers the slapstick Prologue.
7. Nick Bottom
7.1. A weaver who is known for getting his head transformed into a donkey's head. He is significant to the plot because he played Pyramus in the play performed for the Duke and Duchess of Athens. He thinks he is the best actor to every live. He is selfish as well.
