    He was driven by jealousy and a personality that forced him to meddle in other people's business. Some may argue that Puck caused the confusion because he was the one who carried out Oberon’s orders and actually executed the deeds. However, Oberon ordered Puck to utilize the love potion on the lovers and Bottom, therefore placing the blame back on Oberon. Also, after Puck’s original mistake in anointing the eyes of the wrong person, Oberon orders him to “Lead these testy rivals astray,” (Ⅲ, ii, 379).…

    and then says “When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile,/ neighing in the likeliness of a filly foal.” (2. 1. 45-49). Shakespeare writes about how Puck likes to turn into a horse and fooling mortals, this being an obvious reference to the mythology. Robin also serves and is a jester to the fairy king, Oberon, and he obeys what he tells him to do. He is seen to be very ignorant in the play.…

    The musical Into the Woods, by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine (book) is a compilation of fairytales with a unique twist of life’s hard lessons after getting what you “wished” for. The play’s main story line is composed of well-known fairytales such as: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Jack and the bean stock. These fairytales are all intertwined in order to help the protagonist (the baker) collect all the ingredients the witch has asked for in order for him and his wife to have a baby. The play is a metaphor for the different paths a person may take when opportunities unfold.…

    Titania tells Oberon that she plans to say there until she has attended Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding. Oberon and Titania refuses to give her Indian Changeling to Oberon for use as hit “Page” or “Henchmen,” since the child’s mother was one of Titania’s worshipers.

    He tries to manipulate the situation so that Helena gets her love, Lysander and Hermia stay together, and he can teach Titania a lesson on how to be a submissive and adoring wife. However, just as the laborers' play turns a tragic drama into a comedy, so does Oberon's when Puck accidentally puts the love-potion on the eyes of the wrong man. And yet Oberon's play also serves a counter purpose to the laborers' play. While the laborers' awful performance seems to suggest the limit of the theater, Oberon's play (or the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream) altered the lives of the same mortals who mock the laborers' play, suggests that theater really does have a magic that defies…

    This is made clear by Oberon as he simultaneously pursues his Fairy Queen - Titania. “Then crush this herb into Lysander’s eye,Whose liquor hath this virtuous property, To take from thence all error with his might” By morning during a hunting session, Theseus and Hippolyta find the couples lost in the woods, arm in arm realizing that the pair love each other after they explained their escape and the events that followed. Theseus gives consent and proposes a triple marriage and they return to Athens happily every after. The ending scenes of A Midsummer Night’s dream collectively unite and end on a positive note. Shakespeare intends this to show that true love is possible and that conflict can be erased when illusion and reality are in the right…
