A Midsummer Night’s Dream Analysis
When Titania argues with Oberon about ownership of the Indian boy, their relationship is not only affected, but the society is affected negatively as well. The argument over the Indian boy causes major difficulties in the weather and seasons. Titania defying her gender role also causes problems because she is not obeying the demands of her husband whom she should.
