Tatania In 'A Midsummer Night Dream'
Good afternoon, I wanted to thank you for picking me for the role of Tatania in A Midsummer Night Dream; however, the image you betray her as, needs to improve.

Tatania is a strong, independent woman – not the soft-spoken feeble girl. In act two, scene one, when Tatania and Oberon argue about who should have the ownership of the changeling boy, Tatania sticks to her opinions of having the boy “…Not for thy fairy kingdom. —Fairies, away! We shall chide downright, if I longer stay… ”. She threatens Oberon – if she stays longer she will have a brawl with him. It shows that she is not scared of Oberon consequently she is powerful and brave. Her strong independent side shines through her persuasive argument.

    A Midsummer Night Dream is a play written by the late William Shakespeare. This play is about a love triangle how one loves the other when the other does not like them until finally it all ends in a resolution, as they have a secret fairy world looking over at them, this play is almost like a mix between the fantasy world and the real!

    How Does Katherina Change In Taming Of The Shrew

    At the end of the story she was much different than at the beginning. She was submissive, nice, and even talked down other wives for not being good wives. What happened was she had got married to Petruchio. Who married her for the high downey placed on her. This was set up by a suitor of Bianca, Lucentio, who poses as a tutor, but has little else to do with her change. She did not immediately fall for Petruchio, she fought him and even had to be tricked to go through with the marriage. Slowly Petruchio taught her how to act, through withholding food and clothing and ill treatment, and even some clever mind games she figured it out.…

    Analysis Of A Midsummer Night's Dream

    I am Kaitlyn Luepann and I am portraying the fairy attendants Peaseblossom, Bottom, Cobweb, and the “jester fairy” Puck From William Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” I will be portraying all these characters as one character with characteristics of all four. The ways I am going to adapt the characters that I am portraying are for me to have a witty sense of humour, yet have common courtesy and manners, and have respectful body language and a humourous tone of voice because the three fairy attendants are very respectful, but Puck is humourous. How I adapt all of the fairies body language and tone of voice from the play to the modern day is to be a respectful Starbucks worker, who cracks jokes in a funny manner while customers…

    ‘Comedy, while delights in the events of a topsy-turvy world, is ultimately conservative’ To what extent is this true for the Shakespearean comedy you have studied?

    The two strongest female characters, amazon warrior Hippolyta and fairy queen Titania, conform to being oppressed in the play by their lovers and their comedy is centred around this theme. After Oberon's spell that forces her to fall in love with Bottom, Titania is humiliated claiming 'O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!' showing that the topsy turvy humour in a queen kissing a donkey, is only able to be expressed by showing the settled dominance of man's social existence.…

    Titania And Lysander In 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

    In the beginning of the play, Helena says love is blind when you love someone so much. The two characters, Titania and Lysander show one exactly how the flower can change and make them blind in love. When Titania was in bed with Bottom she says, “Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful” (3.1.127). This shows us that Titania doesn’t see Bottom’s faults. The magic flower blinds her into thinking he’s beautiful in every way, and she doesn’t see that he’s an ass. My second piece of evidence to show one that love is blind, is when Lysander wakes up and says to Helena “And run through fire i will for thy sweet sake. Transparent Helena” (2.2.110). This evidence shows us that the magic flower poisoned Lysander into loving Helena instead of Hermia. Lysander…

    Comparison between She's the Man and Twelfth Night

    When we think of the story of Cinderella, about eight different variations of the story from different times and cultures come to mind. Nevertheless, the varying renditions of the stories fail to take away from the overall moral of the story (yes, dreams do come true). Somehow, the same understanding is forgotten as more and more people recreate literary classics. The film “She’s the Man” is a modern adaption of the Shakespearian comedy Twelfth Night. At first glance, the film and play share apparent congruities; however the differences and alterations that the screenplay writer and director have laid on top of the original play has transformed this traditional play in order to fit the mold and taste of modern audiences. Nonetheless, the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play serves to entertain the masses, just with a modern twist.…

    Response to a Midsummer Night's Dream

    An earlier play entitled, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, by William Shakespeare, is a comedy outlining the destinies of two bothered couples. Shakespeare tactically demonstrates the love of two Athens individuals, Lysander and Hermia. The conflict is, Hermia’s father is against the marriage of the two and insists upon marriage with a man named Demetrius. However, the already complicated situation becomes more complex when Hermia discovers that Helena, a deep-rooted friend, is in love with Demetrius. My initial interest of the play arose during the introduction of this conflict.…

    Midsummer Night's Dream Oberon

    Oberon is known to be very manipulative in the play towards his wife Titania. The reason of tricking his wife was to just get hold of the Indian boy that Titania brought along home with her. Oberon mentions it when he argues," Why should Titania cross her Oberon? I do but beg a little changeling boy, to be my henchman"(II.I.120-122). He wanted the Indian boy to work for him and wanted to take care of the boy in order to teach him to become a man. Hence, this lead Oberon to trick his wife into handing the boy over to him and shows how deceiving and manipulative he is. All these reasons claim that Oberon ruins everything for the characters in the…

    Oberon Hierarchy In A Midsummer Night's Dream

    He always expects Titania to comply with what he wants and never wants her to argue with him. When he doesn’t get his way with her, his lust for control, causes him to lash out in immature behaviors. When Titania refuses to comply with his wishes in their dispute over the Indian boy, Oberon is unable to accept his wife’s disobedience, and as a result intoxicates her with a potion to get what he wants. In a journal titled “Pivotal and Puzzling the Indian Boy in a Midsummer Night’s Dream” written by literary Critic Bronwen Fetters, she discusses the role the Indian boy plays to illustrate Oberon’s immense desire for power and control. “While Titania cares for the Indian Boy as a result of a promise she made to his mother, Oberon’s interest in him is seemingly desiring to possess him as a token of political authority and dominion. Oberon believes “he has suffered an intolerable ‘injury’ (2.1.147) at the hands of a ‘wanton’ (2.1.63) wife”. He punishes her disobedience by putting the juice of the aphrodisiac flower on her eyelids. By doing this and by causing Titania to have sexual desire for Bottom—an altogether different and more unnatural changeling—Oberon highlights Titania’s foolish infatuation with the Indian…
