Titania Oberon And The Indian 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).

The Inconvenient Indian by Thomas King is a non-fiction story about Native people in North America. Thomas King relies on a multitude of sources for his work, such as historical events, movies, films, TV, politics, art, and Indian-White relations. King also, puts his own taste in the Inconvenient Indian and brings his own experiences in the story. He accomplishes this by being ironic and sarcastic throughout the entire story. King prefers to reflect on contemporary issues.

Oberon, riddled with jealousy over his queen’s beloved “changeling”, plots to make a fool out of Titania with his magic potion so he may steal away the child. Oberon's love-potion has the same effect of that of the famed Cupid's arrows, it charms the sight of those it is anointed upon, and gets them to fall in “love” with the first creature they see. Oberon anoints the eyes of Titania and she ends up falling in “love” with the first creature she sees, Bottom, an actor who is rehearsing in the woods, who’s head has been turned into that of an ass by Puck. Oberon plan is successful, he is in fact able to steal away the child while his queen dotes upon Bottom, but then things start to get more complicated in the moonlit woods.

The book has some moments when things went well for the characters after they sought to control someone. Oberon and Titania had been fighting for a while and part of the reason was because Titania wouldn’t give him the changeling boy. “ I then did ask of her, her changeling child which straight she gave me.” Oberon is now satisfied because after putting the potion in Titania’s eyes, she gave him the changeling child with no hesitation. Still in the end section of the play, things are finally coming to good terms, for one the lovers are getting married. “ Sing and dance trippingly… will we sing and bless this place.” This is the scene where they are celebrating due to the success of getting the couples together.Which included controlling Lysander to get him to love Hermia again. As you read A Midsummer Night's Dream, you might notice that there are more downfalls than victories when it comes to control. Although some might look at the broad picture being drawn, if you dig deeper you will notice that Shakespeare makes known that controlling isn’t possible. Even though in the play Oberon seemed to have it his way, in reality things don’t always turnout that way, especially when dealing with

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

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

The American desire to culturally assimilate Native American people into establishing American customs went down in history during the 1700s. Famous author Zitkala-Sa, tells her brave experience of Americanization as a child through a series of stories in “Impressions of an Indian Childhood.” Zitkala-Sa, described her journey into an American missionary where they cleansed her of her identity. In “Impressions of an Indian Childhood,” Zitkala-Sa uses imagery in order to convey the cruel nature of early American cultural transformation among Indian individuals.

Right after Bottom scared all the people with his ass, he meets Titania (Applied to the love juice). Titania immediately falls in love with Bottom and his ass’s head. When she hears Bottom sing, she says "I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again: Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape; And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move me. On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee." (Act 3 Scene 1 Line 121). She treats Bottom like her own child, she feeds him, she sleeps with him and pampers him. This is a comedy, as it is absurd to fall in love with a person with an ass. When Oberon takes the spell away from Titania, she also thinks that it is not possible and is startled. She says “My Oberon, what visions i have seen! Methought I was enamour’d of an ass.” (Act 4 Scene 1 Line 75). Titania is a the queen of fairies and has a lot of power and reputation amongst her people, In Act 3 Scene 1 Line 139, she was so powerful, she could just say “I’ll give thee fairies to attend on thee”, and Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth and Mustardseed immediately came to serve her. Titania should not be under a spell. Imagine Julius Caesar falling in love with a hippo, it just does not make

In conversation with Puck, he declares “The next thing then she waking looks upon, Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, On meddling monkey, or on busy ape, She shall pursue it with the soul of love.” Due to his hunger of power, Oberon tricks Titania into giving him the Indian Boy. This shows that he concerns himself more with having greater power over Titania than caring and loving her. In addition to that point, Oberon gives no reasons as to why he desires custody over the Indian boy, leaving the readers to assume that above all else, he wants to demonstrate his power over

The Indian Tale of Tulisa an Aarne-Tompson Tale Type 425 and the Disney animated Cinderella, both encompass the idea of manipulation or the use someone of a lower status for the benefit of one’s self seated in a higher power. Within both the Indian Tale of Tulisa and the 1950’s Disney animated film Cinderella, individuals within the story use other characters for their own benefit to achieve personal gain. The main characters, Tulisa in Tale of Tulisa and Cinderella in the film Cinderella, both summon animals of different species to help them complete tasks delegated to them to please a higher individual. There is an instance where the Queen in Tale of Tulisa uses Sarkasukis, disguised as an elderly woman, to trick Tulisa into performing tasks to benefit her status, Cinderella’s step-mother in Cinderella uses her two daughters to hurt their step-sister mentally and impose tasks upon her. Then at the beginning of the Tale of Tulisa, Nur-Singh, Tulisa’s father is persuaded to give away his daughter’s hand in marriage to a strange voice originating from a well in return for grand wealth, as Cinderella in the animated movie Cinderella is offered a new life with wealth when the Prince falls in love with her at the ball. There are several accounts throughout both stories where an individual is persuaded to complete an action through lies and deceit, so they will fail in the end, as the outcome ends up going the way of the one in power.

Alysa Landry, who is an author at Indian country media network. She studies about the Native American people by constructing a project “All Indians Are Dead?”. Over the study, Alysa reveals a shameful lack of meaning Native content. Alysa wrote: “Every once in a while, a student would mention something about the Trail of Tears. It was Incredibly frustrating.” (From the Heartland, pg 107). The articles show that most of the students over United States lack of knowledge about current Native events and challenges. Especially, the majority of students only learn about the Thanksgiving and Columbus. Otherwise, many students believe that all of the Native people are dead since the forced removals. Alysa, with the help of Shear, her worker, who also

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.

Aditi Gouvernel paints a distressing exclusion and embarrassment in the playground all from the Australian bully Barry West. Both Aditi and Wei-Li were singled out for ridicule, and mockery. Wei-Li was “hit, spanked and kicked” and he ever was “forced to pull down his pants because Chinese boys have no dicks.” Barry becomes the enemy and a symbol of Aditi’s exclusion.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream takes place in Athens where the the Duke Theseus and the Queen of the Amazons Hippolyta are set to get married. Following this we see the fruition of two more plots of love, Helena, Lysander, Demetrius, and Hermia and the king and queen of the fairies Oberon and Titania. The plot I am going to focus on will be that of the four lovers, the complication and the conflict that they’re love causes. The conflict begins when “Take time to pause, and by the next new moon—the sealing day betwixt my love and me

Theseus rules by trying to make everyone happy while abiding by the old Athenian law. Theseus says, “Look you arm yourself to fit the fancies your father’s will.” (1.1.117-118) In this scene, Theseus is telling Hermia to marry Demetrius or to get ready to die. Egeus says that she is his property by the Athenian law. This causes Hermia to run away with her love, Lysander. At the end of the play, Theseus says, “Egeus, I will overbear your will.” (4.1.182) He is telling Hermia’s father that the law will be void for this marriage. This tells that Theseus will override it for the happiness of the four lovers. Oberon rules in a way where he is happy even if it sacrifices someone else's happiness. He will do mischievous things and blackmail others, including Titania, for his own satisfaction or gain. Oberon says, “Give me that boy, and I will go with thee.” (2.1.143) Here, he is telling Titania that if she doesn’t give him the boy, he will not dance with he at Theseus’s and Hippolyta’s wedding. They are supposed to dance at the wedding to tell them that they bless their marriage. Oberon is blackmailing her so that if she doesn’t give him the boy, they won’t dance, thus giving the couples the impression that they don’t bless them. Also, right after he squeezes the love flowers juice on Titania’s eyelid, Oberon says, “Wake when some vile
