Quince assembles the players who will entertain the Duke and Duchess. Each is assigned a part in the play. Bottom will play the part of Pyramus.
Dialogue
Bottom: "What is Pyramus? A lover, or a tyrant?"
Quince: "A lover, that kills himself most gallant for love."
Bottom: "That will ask some tears in the true performing of it. If I do it, let the audience look to their eyes, I will move storms, I will condole in some measure. To the rest. Yet my chief humor is for a tyrant..." (I.ii.22-30).
