Meanwhile, two couples have entered the forest: Lovers Hermia and Lysander are pursued by Demetrius, who also loves Hermia, and Helena, who loves Demetrius. Titania awakens and finds herself madly in love with Bottom, an actor from the rude mechanicals whose head was just transformed into that of a donkey, thanks to a curse from Puck. The effect of the juice will cause Titania to fall in love with the first live thing she sees. Oberon sends his servant, Puck, to fetch the flower, which he does successfully.įurious that Titania will not give him the child, he puts juice from a magical flower into her eyes while she is asleep. The flower was accidentally struck by Cupid's arrow when he attempted to shoot a young maiden in a field, instead infusing the flower with love. Oberon tricks Titania into giving him back the child using the juice from a special flower that makes you "madly dote upon the next live thing that it sees". Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,īy their increase, now knows not which is which: The childing autumn, angry winter, change Is, as in mockery, set: the spring, the summer, Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,įar in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, No night is now with hymn or carol blest: The human mortals want their winter here The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud, The fold stands empty in the drowned field,Īnd crows are fatted with the murrion flock The ploughman lost his sweat, and the green corn Hath rotted ere his youth attain'd a beard The ox hath therefore stretch'd his yoke in vain, That they have overborne their continents: Therefore the winds, piping to us in vains,Īs in revenge, have suck'd up from the seaĬontagious fogs which falling in the land Titania describes the consequences of their fighting: To make it look as if he didn't disappear, Titania put a fairy in his place.īecause Oberon and Titania are both powerful spirits connected to nature, their feuding disrupts the weather. Titania wants to keep and raise the child for the sake of her mortal friend and follower who died giving birth to him. They are arguing over custody of a child whom Oberon wants to raise to be his henchman. Oberon is the king of all of the fairies and is engaged in a dispute with his wife Titania, the fairy queen.
