Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow, is a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream that was based on the ancient figure in English mythology, also called Puck. Puck is a clever, mischievous elf and is also the jester to Oberon, the fairy king. You could say he is quite a trouble maker and is always doing something wrong that everyone else has to fix. At times, Oberon sends Puck to fix his own mistakes but Puck just makes it a bigger problem.
Within the play, Puck does many different things such as being the first one who is introduces in the fairies’ story. He also creates a whole heap of drama by making the lovers fall in love with the wrong lovers. In this scene he cause a large amount of problems that had to me fixed by others. Puck also provides Nick Bottom with a donkey's head so that Titania will fall in love with a beast and forget her attachment to the little boy, allowing Oberon to take the child from her which he was successful in.
At the end of the play, Puck delivers a speech in which he addresses the audience directly, apologizing for anything that might have offended them and suggesting that they pretend it was a dream.
