Shakespeare’s way of expressing how in the forest‚ or society‚ love is a mystery and can ruin and destroy exquisite things. Overall Shakespeare breaks away from communal order of gender roles inside the forest‚ when he reverses the power between Oberon and Titania and creates a love triangle due to a magical force. The archetype of the forest and its mystery allows Shakespeare to create a message that gender roles do not always play out the way society expects them to and reveals that with love come sacrifice

help them resolve their problems for a peaceful ending. The conflict that magic helped resolve were: when Oberon and Titania argued about the young boy‚ when Puck put the magical love juice on Lysander’s eyelids‚ and when Puck turned Bottom’s head into an ass’s head. The first problem that was solved when magic was used was when Oberon and Titania argued about the young boy who Titania stole from an Indian king. In the first scene of the second act‚ Puck told the fairy why they were arguing‚ when he

privilege of Athens; as she is mine‚ I may dispose of her.’ These options show how women are seen as inferior and belonging to men in a patriarchal society. This idea is mirrored several times throughout A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ for example‚ when Titania is made a fool of by Oberon after displeasing him. This shows how she belongs to him; how he is free to play tricks and make a fool of to her. Overall‚ Egeus’s two options show us how in a patriarchal society‚ women are viewed as inferior and belong

Two of the big couples that are really different in the two plays are Brutus and Portia and Oberon and Titania. Brutus and Portia Are from the tragedy play and Oberon and Titania Are from the comedy play. In the comedy play Oberon and Titania come on stage fighting. “Oberon: Ill met by moonlight‚ proud Titania! Titania: What‚ jealous Oberon? Fairies‚ skip hence. I have forsworn his bed and comany.”(2. 1. 60-63). Both spouses are accusing each other of being

Shakespeare’s most popular play‚ A Midsummer Night’s dream‚ is a romantic comedy that features young lovers that fall deeply in and out of love in a brief period of time.

How the vision/ eyes motif shows the powers and limitations of human vision. A Midsummer Night’s Dream brings to literary life the inherent qualities of the “eyes” in human nature. As its title suggests‚ this play is about dreams‚ and their often illogical‚ magical‚ and sensual character. William Shakespeare‚ the author‚ puts major emphasis on the overall idea of vision and indirectly expands this motif to express his personal opinion. He believes human vision is a dynamical force with transformative

Fairies and Their Purpose The fairies and the fairy realm have many responsibilities in this play. The most important of which is that they are the cause of much of the conflict and comedy within this story. They represent mischievousness and pleasantry which gives the play most of its emotion and feeling. They relate to humans because they make mistakes but differ in the fact that they do not understand the human world. Robin is the most notable fairy in the play and is the servant of the

Shakespeare gives Titania the ability to be reasonable as shown when she and Oberon are arguing in Act Two Scene One “Set your heart at rest. The fairy land buys not the child of me” (Lines 123-124). Titania’s sense of reasoning in her speeches is still unchanged even when

Ceianna My favorite song about love is Mumford and Sons’ Broad Shoulder Beasts. I like this song because it demonstrates the magic of love in a very underlying way with its melodies and in a very strong way with its lyrics. Two good examples of this in literature are "The Love Potion" adapted by Jesse Martin and "The Goodness of St. Rocque" by Alice Dunbar. While the items in these stories may be different they serve as an underlying source for the magic of love. In " The Love Potion" adapted by
