Comparing Titania In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

1. How does Oberon learn that Titania is in love with Bottom? How does he feel about that?

Titania is arguably the strongest women in the play; however she is still susceptible to the devious schemes of Oberon and Puck. She is tricked, by the use of a love-juice potion, into falling in love with Bottom who appears to have an ass’s head, “An ass’s nole I fixed on his head” (III.ii.17). This event leads to Oberon asking her for the changeling child “Which straight she gave to me,” (IV.i.58) showing that even strong woman can be tricked by men, which is still

The two had been on bad terms with each other, constantly arguing. Oberon was acting childish as he refused to join Titania and her fairies in their dance, unless given the chageling boy that he wished for. He thought to play with Titania's feelings after again being told he may not have the boy. He tricked her heart so that he could ask her for the changeling boy without her being in her right mind to refuse. He took things to an extreme, brainwashing her just to obtain the child.

Titania, before her bewitchment, warns Oberon that their own lovers' spat is causing havoc on earth. She speaks of "winds, piping to us in vain/As in revenge" (2.1 88, 90), of the moon, "pale in her anger" (104), and how the seasons "change/Their wonted liveries" (112-13). At first, Oberon cannot see beyond his jealousy of the little changeling Titania has adopted. He sets into motion fantastic spells that upend real love, mimicking the more serious complications wrought by human politics. Naturally, Titania's premonition bears fruit when Puck transforms Nick Bottom into an ass, and again when Lysander falls in love with Helena and forgets about Hermia. These turns of events eventually worry Oberon, too. He tells Puck to make sure to "lead these testy rivals so astray/As one come not within another's way" (3.2 358-59). He prescribes the potion to set things straight, calling the evening's pranks "a dream and fruitless vision," and declaring that with his corrective action, "all things shall be peace" (3.2 377).

Next, to contradict with another view of Cutis, who asserts a similarity between the “Theseus-Hippolyta” relationship and the “Oberon-Titania relationship,” I will prove that the extreme meanness of Oberon to Titania is of another kind, in that Oberon is capable of sympathizing with Titania, and in that the meanness of Oberon comes from his overabundant love for Titania (Cutis 183). Under a fairy land setting, “a place of confused

Titania gets deceived by Oberon because he ordered Puck to put a love potion into Titania’s eyes.He did it because he wanted her attention and wanted the child for himself. “I'll watch Titania when she is asleep, And drop the liquor of it in her eyes” (II,1,551-552). Titania was busy with the child and never payed attention to Oberon. “Give me that boy, and I will go with thee” (II,1,513). Oberon deceiving Titania wasn't the only deception, the second deception was the love potion. The love potion made Bottom to appear handsome, but in reality Bottom had a face of an ass (donkey). “I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing

Initially, Oberon tried to manipulate his wife into giving up the Indian boy she adopted for his convenience. Subsequently, Oberon asked his sidekick, Puck the mischievous fairy, to retrieve a flower. Not to mention, that this flower had a special juice, so if you put it in a person’s eyes, they would fall in love with whomever they saw next. Oberon said, “Having once this juice, I’ll watch Titania when she is asleep and drop the liquor of it in her eyes. The next thing she waking looks upon… she shall pursue it with the soul of love… I’ll make her render up her page to me”.

Titania refuses to give up the boy to Oberon feels that he must take things into his own hands. He tells Puck to go get him a flower that has special juice that if put into anyones eyes can make them fall in love with the next thing they see. After acquiring the flower he finds Titania and puts it in his wife's eyes saying ¨Whatever you see when you first wake up, think of it as your true love (Shakespeare 2.2.34-35¨). Titania wakes up and falls in love with Bottom the weaver. Oberon finds Titania in the woods and asks for the Indian child

Oberon’s plan for Titania’s boy worked: “I then did of her changeling child; Which straight she gave me” (Shakespeare 4.1. 59-60). In the end of the book Oberon secured the child with his plan. He set his wife up to be embarrassed so she would give him the child. Although Oberon turned good he was still the source of most problems in the

Oberon is undoubtedly the main cause of every major problem in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the main issues that he caused is because of his problematic relationship with Titania. “And this same progeny of evils comes from our debate, from our dissension; We are their parents and original. ”(Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 115-117)-As Titania is listing everything that has come out of their problematic relationship. Titania is listing all the mishaps that have come out of their relationship, and immediately after this Oberon just dismisses all these disasters as nothing even though he is the leading cause of them, this depicts his character in that he is troublesome and often problematic. Oberon is now planning to use the “Love-in-idleness love flower”

The queen of fairyland, Titania is a deceivingly strong feminist at the opening of the show. She combats her counterpart, Oberon, with such a rage that diseases run rampant, seasons dangerously alter and all of humanity suffers from their discord. As a

Perhaps the theme that is most recurrent in William Shakespeare's plays is that of filial relationships, specifically the relationship between daughter and father. This particular dynamic has allowed Shakespeare to create complex female characters that come into conflict with their fathers over issues ranging from marriage to independence. At the same time, the dramatist exposes his audience to the struggles women face when attempting to assert themselves in a misogynistic world. Through the daughter-father dyads portrayed in The Taming of the Shrew and A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare highlights the effects that gender constraints have on female characters while simultaneously drawing attention to the sharp contrast between both relationships.

The war between Oberon and Titania made Oberon want to trick Titania. Oberon said, “When I have the juice of that flower, I’ll trickle some drops of

During one of the scenes of the play, Oberon put the magical flower juice in Titania’s

They are the former couple’s inverse, and the play’s characters lives all change because of Oberon and Titania.
