Titania

his foolishness stays with him throughout the entirety of the play. His position under the King of Fairies, Oberon, and his childlike behavior result in the main conflict between the lovers. Puck also contributes to some of the conflict involving Titania and her love for Bottom. Puck’s actions are not only influenced by his own personality, but by his means in the fairy kingdom with Oberon, which instigates his role in the lovers’ misunderstandings. While Puck’s disturbances in the play are…

“Portrayed Love” The famous play titled “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is attributed to the art and work of the historical William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was born in Warwickshire England in 1564 and died in 1616. He wrote several plays including, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” that has been traced back to the 17th century when it was first published in the year 1600 (Web.a.ebscohost.com.bethelu.idm.oclc.org, 2015). This romantic-comedy is set in Athens. This is a story about Theseus, Duke of Athens…

The name Shakespeare is one almost everyone should know. His plays are classics that have been taken on by numerous directors, each putting their own spin and interpretations to the meaning Shakespeare tried to express in his writings. Having heard so many fascinating and great things about his plays in general, I was very excited to watch my very first Shakespearean play. Walking in to A Midsummer Night’s Dream with an open mind, what I was about to experience came to be a surprise. From the…

inside the house. I was six years old and in the first grade at Eisenhower Elementary. It was March and the weekend had finally come. My sister and I could not wait to go swimming in our backyard. So, on an early Saturday morning, my older sister, Titania, had allowed us to swimming. The weather was perfect and I was so excited. We had not been allowed to go for a while because it was always too cold when we wanted to go, and when the weather was finally nice, the pool had to be cleaned. So…

How does love relate to the world of law and reason? How can a supernatural power make one fall in love with another regardless of their previous desires, feelings, or status? In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare took advantage of the theme of love, comparing the play within a play with affection and Athen’s law in the 1590’s. Although this play is meant to be a comedy, the theme of love runs a major line across the story. Love plays a separate role for each character, varying from…

To me, Astronomy is the science relative to space. It is the answer to very natural questions: the exploration of time and space. When I go and wonder about what there is above the sky, or what was there at the beginning, astronomy, through its different sections (such as planetary, cosmology etc…) helps me to answer this questions. I’m grateful to live in an age already advanced in this matter. However, there is so much more to explore, and so much more answer to find, and finding these answers…

A major intertextual link can be found to one of Shakespeare’s tragedies, Romeo and Juliet. The plays have many points of likeness, including themes, characters and context. In both plays gender roles affect characterisation. There are many similarities in terms of Hermia and Juliet. For one, they are young lovers of the same status in terms of the social hierarchy, who, due to circumstance, are not allowed to marry who they wish. Both plays were made in the Elizabethan era and the context of…

should never feel forced or staged. Everyone should have a say on who they want to pursue. Their choices should be respected even if it doesn't please you. In the play Midsummer Nights Dream, Oberon sends Puck to put some love juice on his wife Titania. His plan was to make her fall deeply in love with someone else while he takes away the little Indian boy that they've been fighting over for. Indeed, nobody likes to be robbed or deprived from something that they love, that they have worked…

couples from the very beginning, when Hermia’s father, Egeus, tried to force Hermia to marry the man he had chosen to become her husband. The mature and finally stable love of Theseus and Hippolyta is conflicted with the relationship of Oberon and Titania, who’s fighting has really created such a negative impact on the world around them. There is peace in the kingdom and the world beyond, only when the marriage of the fairy King and Queen is put…
