	Puck (mythology)
		Puck is a mischievous pre-Christian nature spirit, a "woodwose" in the archetype of the Horned God.
		Since, if you "speak of the Devil" he will appear, Puck's euphemistic "disguised" name is "Robin Goodfellow" or "Hobgoblin," in which "Hob" may substitute for "Rob" or may simply refer to the "goblin of the hearth" or hob.
		In Ireland "puck" is said to be sometimes used for "goat".

	Playing Fairy: Puck and Pan Onstage by Kristen McDermott: Summer 2006, Journal of Mythic Arts, Endicott Studio
		Puck's pranks center around the home and hearth, country roads and marshes, food and barnyard animals.
		For Puck to meddle in the love affairs and petty fantasies of humankind is to be expected, and as such is a comfortingly familiar theme for Shakespeare's working–class audience; for Titania and Oberon to descend to such things is a piece of comic absurdity that Shakespeare's more educated viewers would have appreciated.
		Shakespeare's plays revel in the almost frantic sense of variety and change made possible by his new art form — the magical "Wooden O" that could be so many different places at once, peopled by that new breed of artist — the professional actor — who could be anyone or anything at a moment's notice.

		The pagan trickster was reimagined in Old English puca (Christianized as "devil") as a kind of half-tamed woodland Sprite (creature), leading folk astray with echoes and lights in nighttime woodlands (like the French "White Ladies", the Dames Blanches), or coming into the farmstead and souring milk in the churn.
		Puck has also been loosely re-imagined in many modern comics, but the house-elf Dobby in J. Rowling's Harry Potter series stays closer to the traditional, house-keeping qualities of Robin Goodfellow.

	Trickster at AllExperts
		In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit, human hero or anthropomorphic animal who plays pranks or otherwise disobeys normal rules and norms of behaviour.
		In many cultures, (as may be seen in Greek, Norse or Slavic folktales, along with Native American/First Nations lore), the trickster and the culture hero are often combined.
		In many Native American and First Nations mythologies, the coyote (Southwestern United States) or raven (Pacific Northwest and coastal British Columbia) stole fire from the gods (stars or sun) and are more tricksters than culture heroes.

		However, Puck's dual, mutable nature also suggests that he is more than man or beast: he operates as a counterpart to the Greek god Hermes and the Roman god Mercurius who were messenger of the gods, as Puck is the messenger of Oberon, or Philostrate the messenger of Theseus.
		Puck's connection with Hermes, the cave, and the constellation Draco at the intersection of the masculine and feminine planes further typifies Puck's dual nature as trickster and catalyst of transformation.
		Puck refers to Bottom as "my mimic" (III.ii.19), and as an actor, Bottom is himself a shape-shifter like Puck, who wishes to play every role available—Pyramus, a lover, a tyrant, 'Ercles, Thisby, the lion (I.ii)—and is as naturally disposed to play them as to play an ass (III.i.115).
