Titania

Night’s Dream is perhaps the most famous play ever written by William Shakespeare. It is an excellent example of comedy. The play follows the story of several pairs of lovers. The four main pairs of lovers in the play, Theseus and Hippolyta, Oberon and Titania, Lysander and Hermia, and Demetrius and Helena, each represent a different form of love. The plot of the play involves the trials that some of these characters go through and demonstrates which kinds of love should be idolized and should…

in life. The world around which women live is full of limiting factors, factors that hinder the full expression of women’s interests. Examples of these situations are when Hermia’s father wanted to marry her to a person she did not love and when Titania gets to disagree with Oberon concerning the young Indian prince. However, women are strong enough to fight through the challenges and succeed. According to Shakespeare, women are not just figures…

Shakespeare, like any other writer, has a few key themes that he prefers to incorporate within many of his literary works. One play that he has weaved the theme of love in, is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Though this story is a bit light hearted than most of Shakespeare’s works, it still has a problematic couple that love each other passionately. Something that I have noticed about Shakespeare is that he enjoys creating characters that are imperfect by making them a captive to human emotion, in…

desire. For example, during Titania and Oberon’s fight, the seasons changed and rivers overflowed due to the fairies’ anger manipulating the weather (II.i.73-102). At the end of the play, the weather and seasons were restored and all was well. Fairies can also become invisible, as demonstrated by Oberon when the Athenian youths come to the forest…

After Hermia’s options are given by Theseus, her and Lysander decide to run away into the mischievous woods outside Athens. This causes Demetrius to pursue them along with Helena, his ex-lover, at his heels. In the woods, the fairy couple, Oberon and Titania, are in a feud over a changeling Indian boy, while a group of Athenian craftsmen practice for a play that they will perform at the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. After a struggle to locate each other and interference from supernatural…

yet sophisticated manner. They talk with an elevated language, but still revel in magical dances without inhibitions. Regardless of the fantastical elements, the fey nobility where also prone to same problems the humans in Athens had. Oberon and Titania can be seen as parallels to Theseus, the duke, and Hippolyta. One interpretation by James Calderwood is that the faeries are manifestations of Theseus fears “In his nightmare he finds himself transformed into a fairy king married to a fairy queen…

without questioning or a need for reason. To each character, dreams have special meanings and value, and shape their perception of their encounters with the unknown. Shakespeare uses dreams to allow for peace to be made between people fighting. For Titania, the fairy Queen, dreams allow for her to stop hating her…

Emotions are inevitable when it comes to being a human. In works of literature, the feelings that are involved are dramatized much more than they need to be. The conflict convinces the main character to feel a strong emotion by a dramatic occurrence. When these events occur, the literary elements involved in the work become stronger, making the work as a whole more eventful. Overall, characters in literature tend to have strong feelings towards certain characters that ultimately take over the…

in the play. A protagonist must dictate the story; Oberon exhibits this quality. To begin with, protagonists are often depicted as heroes. Oberon displays this by showing good intentions and being hero-like. For instance, amidst a conflict with Titania, he still manages to solve other problems that are not related to him. “Take thou some of it and seek…
