I found myself outside running from my house, drenched from the rain, not knowing what I was running from. A second later though, I did because I…

In Act 3, Oberon, king of the fairies, places a spell on his wife, Titania, making her fall in love with an actor with the head of a donkey. Titania is so deep in love that she is unable to see Nick Bottom’s arrogance and has no issue with his appearance.

different couples, mortal and otherwise, but their relationships are far from easy. Take Oberon and Titania for example. They may be ethereal beings, but they sure can get as devious as mortals, if not more so. Titania refuses to give Oberon the little changeling boy he requests, so he tells/reminds Puck of a love flower that they found a while back. After Puck returns, Oberon uses this flower on Titania saying, “What thou seest when thou dost wake, do for thy true love take… Wake when some…

“What happened to king Joseph,” Benjamin asked? “This is all your fault you allowed evil to take control of your puny little mind giving the dark one the chance to act out those dark fantasies sealed away in the back of your head,”queen Titania screamed at the top of her lungs! “How did the dark one take control I locked him away in the farthest corners of my mind so I could prevent him from hurting anyone else?” “The dark one escaped because you are a weak little simpleton who must die!.”…

The “Green World” is best used in A Midsummer Night 's Dream, the fairy magic (magic that is found in a “Green World’) is linked to the wonder and development of love. Love, as Shakespeare seems to describe it to be, is an enchanting and magical conversion that can be said as in the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. When the characters fall in love with others than who they are supposed to be in love with, the setting takes place in the Green World (aka the forest) it is caused by…
