The Quarrel Of Oberon and Titania (sketch) ~Sir Joseph Noel Paton
Did you ever see ‘Shakespeare’s’ A Midsummer Night’s Dream? Did you wonder who Oberon represents? I bet you did not! For some reason everyone is interested in Puck but not Oberon. Sup wit dat? Ever wonder what it means that Oberon has drugs and ‘fairy magic’ that can change minds completely? Ever wonder why he took ‘an Indian boy’ from his wife, Titania? I did! SO…I went on an exhaustive tour of the critical literature to find out what the experts think of the play. Oberon is always ignored. What the heck is going on? Oberon sexually traumatizes Titania to make her give away her boy. Titania had made promises to the boy’s deceased mother that she would protect the boy. This is, by the way, perhaps the most popular play of all time. no joke
Oberon takes the littleboy from Titania via drugs and sexual humiliation. WHAT? The boy disappears by the way.
That’s just the start of things. This is part one of a deep dive into A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a dark play, a cruel play about the underbelly of human sexuality and the war between the sexes and the control of the commoner by the elites. It includes beastiality, pedophilia, libertinism, human trafficking, mind control, theater and entertainment itself, in what somehow has become thought of as a cute ‘romantic comedy’ about fairies, young lovers and our love of animals (I guess).
Oberon is often thought of as being synonymous to Prospero by Shakespeare critics— with Puck being compared to Ariel. Prospero is clearly the playwright Shakespeare, according to critics, which makes Oberon Francis Bacon, the confident, the supreme, the man who hated women.
