Analyzing Oberon

Ben and Shreya

Oberon is portrayed as funny, smart, jealous and silly. For example, in Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 183-194, in this paragraph Oberon puts the love potion on Titania's eyes, which shows his funny side because he wants his own wife to fall in love with someone else or something else. Another character trait of his, is his smartness and the fact that he is aware of his surroundings. In Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 118-199, Oberon says to Puck "Stand aside. The noise they make will cause Demeterius to awake." A third character trait Oberon has is that he is silly in Act 2 Scene 2 Lines 34-40, he says that he hopes that Titania awakes when some "vile thing" is around. Oberon speaks in a unique form compared to most of the other characters, he speaks in iambic pentameter for the most part (for example Act 2 Scene 1 Line 121).  Throughout the play his main objectives were to cause some mischief and earn custody of the Indian biy but most of all win back Titania love and attention.
