giving birth to this child. But Oberon must have this boy. He obtains the love juice to divert Titanias interest from the child and hell only disenchant her once the changeling is securely in his own train. When we remember that this is the motive behind all that happens in the woods, Oberon comes off a little better than the two male lovers. For magnanimity of spirit and depths of emotion hes about on par with them. However, as soon as Oberon speaks the poetry Shakespeare has given him, we too are completely in his power. His magnificent description of the occasion when he first saw "the little western flower" obliterates any lingering doubts about the petty purpose he intends it for. His poetry evokes a music that made "the rude sea" grow civil and caused the stars to shoot "madly from their spheres". This is the Oberon we remember, the King of Shadows to whom such things happen and who can thus recreate his experiences. These characters, prove to be independent in this play, they wish not to rely on anyone else but themselves .Theseus makes many comments about capturing his wife, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and shows us that he now has her power as well as his. This type of relationship is also seen in Titania and Oberon. Oberon is skilled with magic and power, and knows how to use both of these qualities. We notice Oberons fierce side of him when Titania, decides to keep the changeling to herself. When this happens, Oberon develops a hatred towards Titania, wanting to seek revenge because of his jealousy. He gets both; his revenge by making a fool out of Titania by making her fall in love with an ass, and overcomes his jealousy by capturing the child himself....
