Even with obstacles such as Oberon and Puck included chaos in a magical forest where dream v. reality kicks in. A Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare tells a story of different themes meshed together for a great piece, but which ones are the important themes? In a Midsummer’s Night Dream, the nature of love and the distorts of magic introduces the differences between reality and what’s fantasy between different sides of the two themes.

Why does Shakespeare suggesting that magic exist? In the play, magic focused on supernatural elements with fairies, magical flowers, and the forest meaning a simpler, natural force. Shakespeare uses the embodiment of magic for supernatural power of love and creates a surreal world. “Magic is a metaphorical expression as the lovers fall into the power. Each person in the play has a personal experience with magic whether right or bad” (Barber 145). Bottom, for example, sees this as a magical experience for him. Even though Puck 's intentions were evil towards him, Bottom experienced love from the Fairy Queen, Titania. Barely noticing himself that Titania is there also "Proves evidence of the power of the pure innocent, itself as proof that Shakespeare tries to show" (Maconald 46). Even while Titania is declaring her love, he is still unaffected eventually giving in. Did the scene actually make the spell stronger? Or maybe nature? “Natural magic and fairy appearances continue to enrich the lines 137-60 making this part of the dream obtain the fair portion of the moonlight and dew" (Harbage 116).
