    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…

    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…

    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.

    Romeo and Juliet: their names alone will usually bring thoughts of one of the most tragic love stories to this day. Most people are quite familiar with the newlywed couple committing suicide together because their love was forbidden. However, if someone were to look at it from a different angle, Romeo and Juliet weren’t the only ones who decided their death. Yes, they finalized their deaths, but they weren’t the only ones at fault. In fact, they were murdered by people with good intentions. This leaves us with the question of who killed them? Most characters in this play had a role in killing both Romeo and Juliet, especially Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet; Juliet’s nurse; and Friar Lawrence, the holy man to whom the couple turned to for guidance. It was a series of events caused by these specific people that caused the young couple’s blooming love to be cut short. It all began with the Capulets and the Montagues feuding with each other. Romeo started off feeling depressed after he was rejected by a lady he was interested in. To cheer him up, his two close friends, Benvolio and Mercutio offer to take him along to sneak into the party that Lord Capulet was throwing. At this party, Romeo lays his eyes upon Juliet. Romeo and Juliet fall in love and later both realize they were meant to be enemies. “My only love sprung from my only hate!” (Act 1, Sc 5, ln 138)…

    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.…
