The character
I am playing is Oberon. He is a fairy who is married to Titania, the other
fairy. Oberon is in an argument with his wife Titania over a child, who he
wants in his possession to raise as his follower. However, Titania wans to
raise him herself because he is the child of her former best friend who
recently passed away. Because he is furious at Titania, Oberon makes a plan to
get the juice from a magical flower and turns it into a love potion. Oberon
pours the juice over Titanias eyes while she is asleep and it makes her fall in
love with the first thing she sees, which is a ass headed craftsman named
Bottom. After seeing what he has done and feeling bad, Oberon reverses the
spell on Titania and they get back together.
My
character is in Act 2 Scene 2, as Titania is falling asleep in the forest,
Oberon sneaks up on her and puts the magic flower juice into her eyes and
chants the spell to make her fall in love with the first person she sees. His objective
is to mess with Titania and get revenge for the argument the two had earlier.
Previous
details from the text shows that Oberon is clearly displeased with what Titania
is doing and wants to get revenge on her. Oberon says earlier in the play that he
has come up with a plan to get back at her by putting the love juice in her
eyes to make her fall in love with the first thing she sees. Then the act of
Titania going into the forest and falling asleep and Oberon watching invisibly from
the side shows that he is about to do something to get back at her. Oberon reaches
his objective of getting back at her as she falls in love with an ass headed
man. Earlier in the text, Oberon was described and played as a man who wants to
get back at people and loves to cause mischief with his servant Puck.
