child. In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream Titania, queen of fairies is married to Oberon, king of fairies, who wants to use the boy as his own personal servant and Oberon tries to do whatever it takes to get the boy for himself. Both are constantly fighting over the little boy and what to do with him. Titania is displayed as a loyal, determined, and powerful mother figure to the little boy who tries her best to care for everyone. Titania remains loyal to the little boy’s mother by keeping

Quince and the others are scared and don’t know why his head is like that. This is dramatic irony because the audience knows why he is like this. Puck, a fairy, turned Bottom’s head into an ass’s head because Oberon, the fairy king, wanted his wife, Titania, to fall in love with something ugly. In my opinion, this is the best example of dramatic irony because it is exciting. This is also my favorite example. Wilkins 2 Another example of dramatic irony is when both, Lysander and Demetrius, fell in love

love” is supposed to be. The humorous fact in this quote is that “true love” is manifested by the fairy queen and a human who has been transformed into an ass. This shows that in true love anything can happen. The irony of this quote is that the love Titania has for Bottom is not real, and that it is being controlled by a magic potion. So Shakespeare shows again how magic is bad and how it can affect both race(humans and fairies). Shakespeare in this quote shows the reader

her lover Lysander elope by going into the forest. Hermia tells this to her best friend Helena, but Helena in turn reveals the plan to Demetrius in an attempt to win back his favor. While at the same time, the fairy King, Oberon, and his queen, Titania, who are estranged, attend Theseus

CLASSIFICATION Fairy characters are very important figures in Shakespeare’s comedy. Inhabitants of the play’s fairy world call themselves spirits, ghosts, or shadows, what makes their kind unclear and hard to define. The fairies of A Midsummer Night 's Dream are seen to be what Oberon calls them: " spirits of another sort." However, Shakespeare 's fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream match the category of trooping fairies. They seem to be elemental creatures, nature ones. The most frequent

Desire is a well-known trope in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The four lovers and their magically caused mishap is one of the play’s main scenes. However, even though sexual desire is found in each of the play’s acts, it isn’t the only type of desire found within the play. In addition to sexual desire, we find a desire for utter and complete control, which is held most notably by Oberon, as well as the desire for chaos. Puck is a character recognizable by those who study mythology by his

Dreams are wild, magical, and mysterious. The majority of Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream is spent in a heavily wooded forest full of fairies and irrational young lovers, creating a night only fallible as a dream. The story contains a royal wedding about to take place and the young lovers Hermia and Lysander provoked to eloping because Hermia’s father will only let her marry Demetrius. Hermia’s best friend Helena, who loves Demetrius, tells Demetrius Hermia and Lysander’s plot to escape

clueless as to what is going on and hold a more mythical aspect of themselves. However, in the movie the fairies are more like the humans because they act more humanlike by knowing how to do things like washing of clothes or the scene in the movie where Titania and Bottom are celebrating and feasting over their new-found love, the fairies are serving them as human servants would. The fairy world

in the play. The pun on “eye” comes into play here because it could be an indicator of Puck’s search within himself to discover his true identity. Since Oberon and Titania also play the characters of Theseus and Hippolyta respectively, Puck is the only purely magical being who has an important role in the play. So while Oberon and Titania have to deal with their human counterparts, Puck’s dual personality is set apart as something unique, though his other name Robin Goodfellow does sound ordinary and

Oberon the fairy is to blame for the conflict of Mid Summers nights dream. You might be wondering why Oberon? He is an incautious fairy that will do whatever it takes to get the Changeling boy from Titania, and enjoys the company of his servant Puck. Oberon is the root of all problems because Oberon intermeddles in other people 's lives, and tries his hardest to get his way in conflicts of the story. First of all, Oberon intermeddles in other people’s lives. For instance, after when Puck leaves

between Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies. Oberon is insistent about Titania giving over the little changeling Indian boy to him which she refuses strongly. This results in Oberon being vexed and orders Puck to fetch him the love juice and pour it into Titania’s eyes while she is sleeping out of spite. Prior to this scene, we witness the conversation between Puck and the fairies, the latter being warned regarding the possible conflict between Oberon and Titania. The scene ends with

(2.1.171-2). With Titania’s attention averted, Oberon will be able to get the child, and thus regain his control in their marriage. His desire blinds him to any compassion towards his wife, and he doesn’t care about what this situation could land Titania in: “The next thing then she waking looks upon—/Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull,/On meddling monkey, or on busy ape—/She shall pursue it with the soul of love”

because as a prank because he enjoys playing tricks on mortals and fairies. The transformation is funny because Bottom's name is synonymous with "ass" and also because Bottom's personality is stubborn and pushy. Oberon orders Puck to put the potion on Titania, Queen of the fairies because he wanted revenge due to the little indian boy she has so he orders his servant, Puck, to fetch a magical flower. The juice of the flower placed upon a person's eyes makes them fall in love with the next person or creature

William Shakespeare 's A Midsummer Night’s Dream opens with the indication of a future marriage between Theseus, the Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. Act two introduces us to the Faerie king and queen, Oberon and Titania, who are fighting for the custody of a changeling boy. From these two quarrels, it is apparent that there is a difference in gender dynamics between the leaders of Athens and those of the Faerie World. In the beginning of the play, Theseus says to Hippolyta

is duller, while the fairies are more extravagant. After being entranced into loving Bottom, Titania orders her fairies to make sure he has a good night’s rest, “To have my love to bed and to arise; And pluck the wings from painted butterflies.To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes. Nod

Shakespeare which is also talking about a love story - The Midsummer Night’s Dream, Oberon the king of the fairies is the root of all problems. He messes up the relationship between the four lovers, turns Bottom’s head into a donkey, and also make his wife Titania fall in love with Bottom. His characteristics are; selfish, capricious, and he also gets jealous easily. These traits lead to the problems in the play. Oberon messes up the relationship between the lovers when he orders Puck to put love potion into

there is control, love, hatred, jealousy, and happiness. Oberon controls people to feel anger, he controls people out of power, and controls people out of love. Many people control others because of anger. In Act 2, Oberon puts a love potion on Titania as a trick to make her fall in love with a beast. “I will place the pollen from the flowers loin Titania's eyelids so that the next thing she sees- be it lion, bear, wolf, or bull- she will fall madly in love with, and I will get that boy.”(5) Oberon

say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays…” (Bevington, 2014, p. 58 3.1.141). Titania being the queen of fairies and Bottom is of a lower-class of humans enforces the logic of Bottoms reasoning. Again, due to Puck’s negligence with his love potion ordeal, Shakespeare portrays the rather unrealistic and spurious side of love in A Midsummer Night’s Dream from Titania and Bottom (Bevington, 2014). A Midsummer Night’s Dream demonstrates the love perplexity and frenzy of the

love happens to also be full of magic, fairies, and as well as comedy; it is a play full of mischief and illusion. Shakespeare also used magic to create an alternate world in which the characters find themselves trapped by Puck’s love spell; even Titania, the Fairy King Oberon’s wife, is enchanted by Puck’s spell. Shakespeare did not try to create this alternative world to be simple in nature if anything it is as complex as the real world but it is a world created by magic. In A Midsummer Night’s
