entire play through his own imaginings, dreams and reflections. It is the performers of Pyramus and Thisbe who introduce the audience to this alternative magical world. It is interesting to consider the dream-like nature of love for example when Titania awakes and falls in love with Bottom. Bottom cleverly states “reason and love keep little together nowadays.” At the end of the play-within-the-play Shakespeare warns the audience not to take the play literally and to think of it as a mere…
For this Body Biography I will be doing Oberon, The King of Fairies. As symbols for him I chose to use the Indian boy, a potion/liquor, and a storm. The reason behind going with the Indian boy is to show how demanding he is and how he’ll do anything for what he wants. I chose the potion/liquor because it represents his power, but also once again shows how he likes being in control of situations. The storm defines his stubbornness and inability to become content with what he has. The storm of…
understand why or how he did this but the rest of Bottom’s friends freak out and run away from him. Bottom starts walking and singing in the woods, when he wakes up Queen Titania, who has the magic potion on her eyes. She suddenly falls in love with Bottom and his donkey head, and has her fairies become his servants. The act ends with Titania telling her fairies to bring her lover silently and with his tongue tied up, which I think means Oberon. I also think in the next scene, the climax will…
married and enjoying their merry wedding reception. Hermia and Helena have mended their broken friendship and the former rivals, Lysander and Demetrius are now friends. The "rude mechanicals" present their play to the delight of everyone. Oberon and Titania have reconciled and Puck and the fairies are busy blessing the palace and all who dwell in it. Shakespeare leaves the audience feeling optimistic and hopeful. The author perhaps believes people should never give up on romantic love. The…
in love, and of the beauty of things, lights and shadows, and motions and faces. There was a white-haired man who stood to drink many−hued cordials from a crystal thimble set on a golden stem. There was a girl with a flowering face, dressed like Titania with braided sapphires in her hair.”(P25, Pra3) This quotation emphasizes Percy’s family, what his house likes, what status is he, what reputation he gains. Everything shows that he lives an extreme luxury life. At the same time, it describes…
describe the workmen, suggesting that they should stay cautious and reverent due to their worker status. Ironically however, it was Puch who covertly put the love juice on Lysander’s eyes, and then hid in the shadow. Even as superior as fairies, like Titania said, “We are their (humans) parents and original,” they can not live under the sunlight like a bunch of ignoble workmen, which implies that the nobles were not as honorable as they considered themselves to be. Furthermore, when Theseus was…

Let’s start from the very beginning. In the play, Midsummer Night’s Dream, there's some issues among gender equality. But I suppose that was expected from a play that takes place in a time where there was no such thing as gender equality. Now let’s get into some examples of gender inequality! One example of a time where I thought there was an issue in Midsummer Night’s Dream, was when Egeus was forcing Hermia to marry Demetrius, even when she had clearly told him that she wanted to marry…
Uranus has the third most amount of moons with 27 moons. 10 of those moons were discovered by Voyager 2. According to NASA most of Uranus’ moons are named after Shakespearean characters and a couple named after the works of Alexander Pope. Oberon and Titania are the largest moons of Uranus and were both Discovered in 1787 by…
the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand is not able to taste, his tougue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was.” (4. 1. 216-219) He recites the writing of St. Paul becase he is not able to comprehend the significance delivered by Titania as a goddess in the play. The love Bottom receives from her goes beyond reason of human being. According to the gospel, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are…
