Re: Butterfly0408's Requests - THE place for developed plots
It's a play by Shakespeare. One of his comedies. The OVERALL Plot is about four youths in a love... square. Lysander and Hermia are in love, but she is to marry Demertius, who is in love with her. Meanwhile, Helena is in love with Demetrius while he hates her. They all four go into the forest where it just to happens that the king and queen of the fairies, Titania and Oberon, are in the middle of a fight. The reason is because Titania is in possession of a mortal baby boy that Oberon wants to make into his page, but she refuses and he is pissed. He decides to play a trick on his wife so while she sleeps he enchants her eyes with a flower that will make her fall in love with the first creature she should happen to see when she wakes and he makes sure it's a vile creature to boot. An ass to be exact.
Meanwhile, he had his minion go and use the flower to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena so the lovers might all be happy. But he makes a mistake and enchants Lysander instead as well as Demetrius. So NOW both men are in love with Helena and no one loves Hermia. CHAOS happens but Oberon comes along and corrects all their sights. In the end, each pair is happy and are wed and Oberon lifts the spell from his wife as well and they reconcile.
I saw a production of this recently and it just got me.... well.... a little hot the way Titania and Oberon's relationship was played. It was very, sensual and sexual. When he was trying to convince her to get his way, he was touching her and kissing her and I was just waiting for them to go at it. They never did of course, but I wanna play it as if they did. And it doesn't have to be about THIS case. They could be fighting over anything, ya know?
