    At the start of the dialogue between Titania and Oberon, Titania greets Oberon by calling him ‘jealous’. She then goes onto claim that he has committed adultery with the ‘Amazon’ (hippolyta). Oberon then goes onto defend himself saying that Titania has ‘love for Theseus’. Here Shakespeare is using these two characters to represent love in a satirical way. The characters are used to mock society’s ideals of things, like marriage. This adultery that is happening between Oberon and his Titania was very common for couples of that era. As both of these characters are part of a higher class of people, Shakespeare may have been using…

    Two star-crossed lovers kill themselves over a misunderstanding. A couple’s tender lips meet each other and join like fire and ice. Two people meet each other and find their lives forever changed. Shakespeare portrays such scenarios throughout his play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, discover themselves to be inseparable due to the power of love. This love eventually leads to the demise of these innocent lovers.

    Lysander and Hermia, both young and well-off, are unpermitted, according to the Ancient Privilege, to wed each other without the approval of Hermia’s father, Egeus. However, not quite prepared to end their relationship, the lovers very ambitiously and suddenly run into a nearby forest. They have done so without considering the consequences, and as a result, find themselves lost. Lysander suggests this, when he says, “Fair love, you faint wandering in the wood, and in truth, I have forgot our way,” (II. ii. 41-42). Later in the play, the duke of Athens, Theseus, overbears Egeus’ will, and insists Lysander and Hermia wed each other on his marriage day. Hermia, in quickness and happiness, agrees, without considering her father’s reaction. By doing so, she may be sacrificing her relationship with him. In both situations, the young Athenians pay no attention to the consequences of their relationship, which supports the idea that love ignores all…

    This shows how Oberon is telling Puck to put love potion on Demetrius’ eyes and for him to not wake him from sleep. It also shows puck thinking about how lysander and Demetrius will compete for the same girl which shows that he has put the potion on Demetrius. This quote supports the thesis because since Demetrius was bewitched into love with Helena. That proves the only way he will stop loving Helena is if the love potion is removed and under the circumstances that only one fairy can do that it is unlikely that he will end the relationship with Helena.…

    A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a play by William Shakespeare, starts by Theseus, the duke of Athens, being introduced as the soon to be wedded man to Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons. Later on, Oberon is introduced as the King of the Fairies. Although both of these characters do not directly interact with one another, Theseus and Oberon serve as character foils to one another. The two characters share comparable personalities with one another. However, the two have different responses in regards to similar situations. For the reason of such a drastic difference, this reveals to us Shakespeare’s point about Theseus and Oberon.…
