==Cultural depictions== Bottom has been the subject of several paintings. German composer [[Felix Mendelssohn]] musically referenced Bottom in his [[A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mendelssohn)|overture]] inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream, with the [[string section|strings]] mimicking an ass's bray on two occasions in the piece. Later German composer [[Hans Werner Henze]] has used Bottom twice as an inspiration: in the second sonata which comprises his ''[[Royal Winter Music]]'' and in his [[Symphony No. 8 (Henze)|Eighth Symphony]]. Nick Bottom is also the main character of the Tony-winning 2015 musical ''[[Something Rotten!]]'', in which he competes as a playwright against William Shakespeare, his name being a reference to the character in Shakespeare's play.
