Who is the king of the fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Answer 1

Oberon, King of Fairies

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare written sometime in the mid-1590s. It portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors in a moonlit forest, and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit it. Today, the play is one of Shakespeare's most popular and is performed across the world.

The play features three interlocking plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazonian queen Hippolyta.

Characters:

Puck or Robin Goodfellow
Oberon, King of Fairies
Titania, Queen of Fairies
Lysander, in love with Hermia
Demetrius, in love with Hermia
Hermia, in love with Lysander
Helena, in love with Demetrius
Egeus, father of Hermia
Theseus, Duke of Athens
Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and betrothed of Theseus
Nick Bottom, weaver
Peter Quince, carpenter
Francis Flute, bellows-mender
Robin Starveling, tailor
Tom Snout, tinker
Snug, joiner
Philostrate, Master of the Revels
Peaseblossom, fairy
Cobweb, fairy
Moth (sometimes rendered as 'Mote'), fairy
Mustardseed, fairy

After the English Renaissance, A Midsummer Night's Dream was never performed in its entirety until the 1840s. Instead, it was heavily adapted in such forms as Henry Purcell's musical adaptation The Fairy Queen (1692), or in shortened versions that turned Bottom into the main character.

Answer 4

Oberon, also Auberon is the King of the Fairies in William Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, written in the mid-1590s.

Oberon gives his wife Titania - the queen of the fairies, a potion that causes her to fall in love with Nick Bottom (famously known for getting his head transformed into a donkey's head), in order to get the changeling, who was given to Titania by her dying maid.

A Midsummer Night's Dream tells the story of two couples, Hermia and Lysander and Helena and Demetrius, whose romantic cross-purposes take them into the play's fairyland woods. In these woods, Oberon, king of the fairies, attempts to get an orphan boy from his wife, Titania. When she refuses to give up the boy, Oberon orders the mischievous spite Puck to find a flower whose juice will distract her so he can get the child.

One of the most noticeable and entertaining elements of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream is the presence of the fairies. Titania, Oberon, Puck, and the attendant fairies all affect the human beings in the woods, and provide glimpses into the fairy realm. Although Shakespeare applies several important aspects of the Elizabethan belief in fairies to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare alters the conception of fairies not only within the context of the play, but for all time.

The fact that we now see fairies as tiny, harmless creatures with wings and magical powers that live in the woods is due to this play. Although Shakespeare gives prominence to the Elizabethan folk belief of fairies by highlighting them in the play, he changes the popular idea of fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream from wicked spirits to shadows and dreams, a transformation which lasts to this day.♥

i might stay away style tutu except that's what you quite need. bear in recommendations that those faeries characterize nature, in all its factors. they are not sturdy, Disney style faeries, nor are they evil. they're the two and neither on the comparable time. think of Tim Burton and that could get you on the wonderful music. The dress factors could nicely be elementary.. Get Spanish Moss at a pastime shop and glue to three nondescript clothing - or - get some inexpensive lace and spray paint it with black, greys and reds.. then use as a element of a skirt for cobweb. The greater organic and organic finding the greater suitable.
