How Does Titania Play In A Midsummer Night's Dream
A donkey, confusion, and mysterious love. Titania is a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. Throughout most of the play, Theseus and Hippolyta want to get married but there are many things that stop them from being able to. In the play, Titania is the queen of the fairies and is married to Oberon. When Oberon and Titania first meet, Titania asks him to dance with her. Oberon demands that Titania gives him the little boy she is raising but she says no. When it comes to love, Oberon and Titania aren’t in a what we would call a “good marriage”. They don’t spend as much time together as they should.
The strongest love seen in the play is between
Oberon, King of the Fairies, and his wife Titania, Queen of the Fairies. Over the many years that they have known each other, they have formed a strong bond but still don’t really understand each other very well. They fight over the littlest things and their behavior is immature. When Oberon finds out that Titania has a little Indian servant boy, he gets jealous. “What, jealous Oberon?—Fairies, skip hence.I have forsworn his bed and company” (||, 1, 47-48).
He then puts her under a spell that makes her seem foolish and not pay as much attention to the boy. When Oberon does this, he takes the boy and makes him a knight. Titania then accuses Oberon of being in love with Hippolyta. This shows that they don’t trust each other as much as they should and that they get jealous of each other.
When Oberon asks for the little boy Titania tells him no. But, when Oberon puts her under the spell she doesn’t pay much attention to him so she doesn’t realize when she’s gone. She tells Oberon that he should take it easy and be nicer when he asks for things.
