Control In A Midsummer Night's Dream

Demetrius changes his love twice: Helena to Hermia, afterward it was Hermia to Helena. Lysander changes his love for Helena to Hermia, and next Hermia from Helena rather quickly too. The way Oberon drugs his wife for selfish reasons and never eventually tells her that she had been drugged, shows how unreliable he is with his love. Oberon would be willing to misuse his power to trick his queen into loving a horrible beast just for obtaining something that he wants He even mocks his queen by saying “there lies your love.” (Act IV,scene, Page 79). A few may argue that the love potion that caused many of these confusions, however that’s an insufficient excuse, it’s true that a couple of these events resulted because of the fairies.

Prince Naveen and his driver, Lawrence, encounter a voodoo witch doctor, Dr. Facilier, who takes advantage of Naveen and Lawrence’s naiveté and turns Naveen into a frog and Lawrence into Naveen, so that Lawrence marries the wrong girl and Dr. Facilier can kill the girl’s father for his fortune. Tiana desperate for money agrees to kiss frog Naveen, but becomes a frog. On their journey to find someone to break the curse Naveen and Tiana develop feelings. In a twist of events Dr. Facilier makes a deal with the spirits for his own gain prompting him to hunt down Naveen. Meanwhile, Lawrence and Charlotte almost marry, and Naveen and Tiana find out the only way to reverse the curse is for Naveen to kiss a princess at midnight, but all went awry.

This is because in the beginning he blindly agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet later bringing consequences in the play. Friar Lawrence is guilty because he gave the potion to Juliet and from that event and forward events started taking a horrible twist. All in all, the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare reflects the reality of love and its consequences and it also teaches us to not fool with young love or you can have consequences in your

Another example is in Act 4/ Scene 1, Bottom receives service from four fairies and he gets to tell them what to do: “Get your weapons in your hand and kill me a red-hipped humble-bee.../ Scratch my head Peaseblossom” (4.1.7-12). This shows that Bottom appears to be in control. It may appear that both of these characters are in control, but they are actually not. Robin was able to find Bottom and turn his head to of a donkey’s, only because he was following orders from Oberon. This means Robin is not in control.

In the novel, Tunes For Bears to Dance To, Mr. Hairston used his strong power of manipulation to persuade Henry into ruining the village sculpture: ‘Don’t make a decision now Henry. Think about it awhile. Think about it tonight. And think about this: If I can’t trust you to do this little thing for me, how can I trust you anymore here in the store?’ Full of regret. ‘Don’t you see?

First of all, Oberon intermeddles in other people’s lives.

Shakespeare writes, “And even for that do I love you the more.”(Act 2.1 Line 209). In this scene Helena explains how much she loves Lysander. However she is only in love with him, due to the love potion: “And with the juice of this I’ll streak her eyes and make her full of hateful fantasies” (Act 2.1 Line 265).

The story of the Tempest represents revenge and forgiveness, with a world of magic mixed in. Prospero used his magic to try and take back what he believed belonged to him, he wanted to become the Duke again, and punish Caliban for trying to harm Miranda. He thought he had been treated unfairly and ended up setting everything

As a punishment, the Prince then publicly announces Romeo’s banishment. Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris. Upset by this undesirable situation, Juliet seeks Friar Lawrence's help once more and is given a sleeping potion that imitates death, which causes everyone

By marrying them he destined Romeo and Juliet to be forsaken by trouble from their families’ feud. The Friar is also the man who devised the plan for Juliet to take a sleeping potion. This in turn makes everyone including Romeo think she has passed on. In act 4 scene 1 the Friar states “take though this vial being in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off” (4.1., 94-95). This is Friar Lawrence telling Juliet the plan that will eventually lead to death of the lovers.
