Oberon Is The King Of Fairies And Titania

True love is shown in various places in the play. One of the earliest couples that demonstrate this is Theseus and Hippolyta. They stay true and loyal to each other, showing their desires and passion for each other. The way Theseus has portray his love to Hippolyta is by his eagerness to be wedded to her, “Another moon – but O methinks, how slow this old moon wanes!” By the end of the play, they are happily married.

Despite magic and freedom there is also a hierarchy commitment, Puck serves to Oberon, Fairies serves to Titania. Oberon used the magic and deception to obtain desired. But he doesn’t like the results of misunderstood between lovers caused with magic, he orders Puck to prevent fight between Lysander and Demetrius “and all things shall be peace”.

Humans are known for making mistakes all the time and the fact that Robin mistakes Lysander for Demetrius shows that he too suffers from error and is not infallible. "Weeds of Athens he doth wear. This is he my master said Despised the Athenian maid." This mistake allows for the actions and conflicts that take place between the lovers to finally come through and surface to the audience. The human actors provide entertainment for the duke and elite of Athens as the fairies provide entertainment for the audience and the lovers in the forest. The servants of Oberon and Titania reflect the servants of Theseus and the performers of the play in the fact that both groups of servants are controlled by a higher power. "That thou shalt like an airy spirit go. Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed!" Both fairies and humans fall in love with another as shown between Titania and Oberon and Lysander and Hermia.

Oberon conjures up a plan in order to get a young child away from Titania, queen of the fairies, whilst doing this he is met with two of our other characters, Helena and Demetrius, “A sweet Athenian lady is in love/ with a huge disdainful youth. Anoint his eyes with the flower as well,” (II.i.268-269) in this point of the story Oberon encounters Helena who is trying to get the attention of Demetrius, who is completely ignoring her. This displays his need to place forceful authority because he is trying to controls Demetrius’s love, by putting him under a spell and making him fall in love with Helena. Unlike Egeus though, Oberon takes control over more than just one character, we see this in act 2 scene 1 lines 83-85 which says “Having once this juice,/ I’ll watch Titania when she is asleep/ And drop the liquor of it in her eyes,” out of the two Oberon would have to be the most controlling, because he in these three lines it shows yet another character Oberon is controlling. In this line though he is attempting to manipulate Titania in order to get the young changeling boy. Thereupon showing that in the face of love, control still will not

This brings us to their interaction in Act 5. Hippolyta and Theseus begin the scene, where Hippolyta states that the lovers are speaking of strange things. This leads Theseus to go on and on about how people in love are crazy. He states that, “Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends. The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact”- basically comparing lovers to madman and how they hallucinate and are ruled by their

Exposition: The story is set in Athens, Greece. Theseus and Hippolyta are both noble and wealthy and they were planning their wedding in 4 days. Hermia and Lysander were in love, but another guy named Demetrius was also in love with Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius but is all alone, because he does not love her. Egeus who is Hermia’s father is not happy about her relationship with Lysander, he wants her to marry Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to run away to another city to be married. Helena tell Demetrius the plan hoping that he will forget Hermia and fall in love with her.

As the play begins to unfold love is immediately illustrated to be the main theme of the play; starting with a wedding and leading up to tears shed by miserable lovers.Although it is an extremely rewarding, love is never an easy adventure. Lovers must be prepared to protect and fight for one another against everyone and anyone. In Hermia’s tragic situation her enemy was her father. Egeus passionately voices his disapproval by taking his daughter to Theseus and stating, “ full of vexation come I with complaint Against my child, my daughter Hermia.—Stand forth, Demetrius.—My noble lord,This man hath my consent to marry her.—Stand forth, Lysander.—And my gracious duke,This man hath bewitched the bosom of my child” (1.1. 22-27). When love is at last passionately felt amongst both lovers, it encounters a malevolent invincible demon; parental disapproval. Hermia and Lysander’s love is cursed and forbidden by her father’s

In Midsummer Night 's Dream, the story starts with Theseus, duke of Athens, engaged to Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. While preparing for their wedding, Theseus is confronted by Egeus, who brings criticism about his daughter Hermia, who refuses his wishes to marry Demetrius, for she is in love with Lysander. Egeus demands that either Hermia respects his wishes or be punished by the Athenian law. While Hermia is in love with Lysander and vice versa, Demetrius is in love with Hermia and ignores Helena, Hermia 's childhood friend, unrequited love.

Another love that is classified in the play is romantic love in which Hippolyta voices a desire for, or at least an attraction to, the romantic love which Hermia and Helena experience. In response to Theseus’ comment concerning his disbelief in the lovers’ stories, Hippolyta argues, “But all the story of the night told over, / And all their minds transfigured so together, / More witnesseth than fancy’s image, / And grows to something of great constancy” (5.1.23-26). Hippolyta seems to want to believe the lover’s tales; she wants to trust in their romantic notions. In an attempt to persuade Theseus, she uses the rational argument that because all the lovers experience the same transforming power, their experiences do not represent mere figments

Another conflict that shows the contrast between rationality and irrationality is the relationship dynamics of Titania and Oberon, the queen and king of the fairies. They are both extremely stubborn and selfish, which causes a disturbance in the typical weather patterns of their realm. In spite of their responsibility to ensure the well-being of the forest, they argue over foolish things-especially over the Indian boy that Titania has been raising. Oberon decides he cannot be happy unless he has the boy for himself, and resorts to desperate measures to get his way. In this case, irrationality wins against rationality. Rather than working through his marriage problems with Titania, Oberon sends Puck to put a potion on Titania’s eye, which makes her fall in love with the first thing she sees. This conspiracy allows Oberon to snatch away the child while Titania is distracted. Although the marriage worked out in the end, it is based on the deception of a desperate husband who wanted his way.

The biggest obstacle in this play occurs when the power of love is challenged by authority. The play starts with Theseus, duke of Athens, being eager to marry Hippolyta, who he wooed with his sword in combat. Although Theseus promises Hippolyta that he will wed her “with pomp, with triumph, with reveling,” true love between them is questionable. By starting the play with Theseus and Hippolyta, Shakespeare hints the audience of the authority involved in their marriage and leaves the audience wonder if they actually love each other. The focus is then shifted to the four lovers: Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius and Helena - by establishing the story of Hermia being forced by her father, Egeus, to marry Demetrius, when the person she actually wants to marry is Lysander. However, Egeus

William Shakespeare made all of the characters interact their lives to be based on each other. At first everything was confusing, and the characters were faced with many different problems. In the end, however they were still able to persevere and win their true love, the love they were searching for in the first place. Theseus is the Athenian duke and, plans to marry the Amazonian Queen Hippolyta four days after the opening of the play. Theseus seems to represent a rather unpleasant model of forced love.

The main conflict between Titania and Oberon is part of the plot as it would drive the mix ups and confusions of the other characters in the play. She had different emotions throughout the play. Which means that without Titania, the fact of having Oberon’s anger in the play drives the entire action of the play, and would be impossible to carry out the plot in the play.

Titania, the fairy queen, discovers the human condition of difficulty by being persistent. Titania is in an argument with her husband, Oberon, at the moment over an Indian baby boy. The child's mother was a servant of Titania's, leading her to develop a motherly bond for him. She wants to raise the boy as her own son, while Oberon wishes to make the child his servant. Titania shows that she is persistent because she does not surrender in their argument.

Oberon matches the harsh and creepy descriptions of the fairies when he wishes that Titania fall in love with an undesirable creature. He suggests a “cat or bear,” a “boar with bristled hair,” or “some vile thing” (II, ii,
