There is not one word apt final

Shakespeare uses the antics of Oberon and Puck at the forefront of this comedy, development the juice to make everyone fall in love, however they err due to their arrogance as Oberon vaguely describes Demerits by by the Athenian garments he hath on. The iambic meter indicates these compositors cases are powerful, yet their actions are unintelligent the concept of incompetent leadership is a humorous stereotype, frequently used in dramatic comedy. Here, however, the joke is mocking power, or rather who we give power to, as Shakespeare portrays Oberon as using his power recklessly.The reason Oberon and Puck start squeezing the juice on the lovers is that the character overheard A sweet Athenian girl and a disdainful younker, and so, in the guise of trying to help them, he creates havoc. Borons aid, however, is a facade he only desires control he knows that Demerits doesnt love Helena back, and so he interferes. This attitude reflects that of the Queens court as Louis Monitors puts it, Queen Elizabeth Xis marital side and her sexual condition were matters of the earth, reflected when Oberon plans to put the juice on Titanic so that she renders her knave to him.Oberon and Puck, therefore, are shown as metaphors for the phallic Elizabethan state where the men knew everything about the Queen and tried to control her in order to fulfill their interests they tried to top executive her into getting married, and reproducing in order for the country to have an heir, just as Oberon tried to force Titanic to change her mind when she defies him saying the fairy kingdom buys not the child off me.Ultimately, despite Titanics rebellion, she straight away gave the changeling child to Oberon because he manipulates her with he juice, rendering her love an ass this is comedic, especially when the character awakens and worries about being enamored to an assn. The fact that it was the fairy queen to whom this occurred is significant as this term was often a metaphorical ref erence to Queen Elizabeth in Renaissance literature.The juice is symbolic of ultimate patriarchal power however, in reality there is no juice to make the Queen yield and take an heir for the State. Shakespeare therefore is mocking State power as they can never obtain their desires because for once there was a ruler who resisted male authority. The state likewise is shown through Oberon and this reference to an ass may in truth be a reference to Oberon- whom is the one who has acted truly the ass and has Titanics love- and so the state itself.This male lust for power in seen, moreover, in the disorder at the start of the play in Shakespearean portrayal of the relationship between Hermit and Segues in regard to her choice of economise. Segues believes this hath bewitched the bosom of my daughter Shakespeare refers to Alexander here as this, dehumidifying the character and therefore highlighting the Segues has towards Alexander. Segues wants to dispose of his daughter to her death b ecause she chooses mortal other than who he wants a seeming betrayal.Segues parental constraint mirrors the expectations Elizabethan parents had for their children, leading to the 1 753 The Hardwired Act which invalidated any marriages of people under 21 or if parental/ guardian consent was not granted 1 753 was after the play was written demonstrating the dangerous legacy patriarchal Elizabethan England left. Segues likewise does not refer to Hemi by name through this passage, instead only using pronouns such as her, yet, the men are named twice in it.This highlights the misogynism as the men, unlike Women, are worthy of name- til now Alexander who Was previously simply a this. The namelessness inflicted on Hermit reflects the fact that before the 1 7th century married females had no second enamel , emphasizing the fact that she was lower than men and just a possession of either her husband or father, as seen as Segues claims Hermit is mine. Moreover, the idea of a Helena, a lo ve-struck teenager, following her love who has rejected her is funny, until Demerits threatens to do thee mischief n the woods.The insistent highlights how threatening this character is, and therefore- because Demerits represents a sort of Everyman- is symbolic of the threatening nature of man, a nature also seen in the forcefulness of Oberon. This scene takes place on the outskirts of the green world (the forest) and so in a limbo between reality, sensuality and disorder we dont know what is possible here therefore making Demerits even more dangerous and thus amplifying the danger of his, and every mans, authority in this world, as we can see by Borons greater power. This scene betweenDemerits and Helena also emphasizes inequality he threatens this terrible act because a female character is stalking him for love, while he does the same to another. This is ironic and paradoxical, making us head the attitudes Demerits represents it would appear that it is fine for a bold man to sta lk someone because they are- as Dorothy Leigh says- amongst the wise, while when a woman is strong other women bequeath blush at their boldness2. The motif of rape appears symbolically when Oberon plans to manipulate Demerits, Alexander and Titanic when they are asleep at the eight vulnerability and exposure.Oberon attacks them with the juice, thus winning away their will and dignity, in its place leaving distress- as a rape would do. In this case, Borons metaphorical actions are tearing apart the double violent of Hermit and Helena, striping their symbolic sisterhood to a union in partition. However, this violent authority was not uncommon in the 17th century, and neither was it a crime that was prosecuted. It was a popular attitude that women were objects of beauty and obedience, as shown in Dry Faustus.Faustus just wants a where wife, or an illusion of Helen of Troy, neither of whom had clear will, and although these two plays are of opposite genres, the aggression towards wo men is seen in both. This shows how it is not only the genre of dramatic comedy, but renaissance theatre in general which holds a mirror to the darker issues of the day. Misogyny is further seen at the start of the play where Theses claims to have won thy heart doing happily injury, the connotations here of violence reflect the patriarchal period of the play.This is emphasizes because Theses took Happily from a injunction matriarchal Amazonian culture to one where she is objectified as nothing more than a prize (coven thy ) implying that this love between them is not what it appeared to be, but is actually another example of male control. As Alison Plowmen explains, nobody had any objections to love as long as the price was right Theses will gain status and the potential for an heir. Contrastingly, Happily loses her independence and Persephone, thus foregrounding the both the literal and symbolic battle of the sexes throughout the play due to the male coercion.
