Paper Summary:

This paper examines the portrayal of the married couple, Oberon and Titania, in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The writer discusses the element of trust in a relationship and looks at the way Oberon mistrusts Titania. The writer further discusses the importance of respect in a marriage and explains the reasons for Oberon's disrespect. The writer also argues that a married couple should never disrespect the freewill of the other spouse, and suggests that Oberon takes this ability of freewill from Titania as soon as the love potion is given to her. The writer concludes that people can forgive even the most horrific actions all because of love.

From the Paper:

"A married couple should be willing to share their attention and love. They should trust one another enough to realize that love for another being does not take away from the love they share. Oberon does not trust Titania enough to realize that her love for him has not disappeared just because she loves the Indian child. Oberon disrespects Titania by being jealous of her love and the care she gives to the Indian child. The biggest disrespect is when he puts Titania under the love spell to gain for his own good. Oberon is jealous of the little Indian boy that Titania has been given to care for. He feels as though her is attention completely on the baby."
