wishes. Through the characters Oberon, Egeus, and Bottom Shakespeare illustrates that having power and control is corrupting and can lead people to doing bad things, despite being good people. Arguably the most important character in the play, Oberon was guilty of letting his power allow him to do whatever he wanted. He set his sights on an Indian boy after seeing Titania’s affection for him and he then used his power to possess the boy. The small issue of Oberon wanting to take…

Throughout the analysis of the play, we thought of some philosophies that we can relate to the play. The philosophies that we can relate to this play are Romanticism, humanism and paroxysm.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare plays with the themes of love, art, imagination, and dreaming to forge an overall meaning for…

evident in the end of the play. Shakespeare uses rulers in the woods who are Oberon the King of Fairies and Titania the Queen of Fairies and include Oberon servant Puck (Rieger, 2009). Their main purpose is to portray to the people the presence of the fairies and their impact on humans. For instance, Pucks claims to be merry wanderer of the night to another fairy, and he can take any image of other things for jesting with Oberon and fooling mortals.

Oberon, once again instructs Puck to try and remedy the Lysander and Helena love situation by removing the spell from Lysander’s eyes. Puck uses magic to create a fog, so they could not see each other, and helps Demetrius and Lysander fall asleep in the confusion of the thick fog.(Hacht,2007).
