LSN 10: PREPARATION FOR TERM 2

In Act 2 Scene 2, we discussed briefly how Oberon uses the juice of the 'love-in-idleness' flower against Titania who is asleep in her bower. We talked about whether Oberon was intentionally malicious or playful when he administers the juice on Titania's eyelids. Many took into consideration the presence of the little changeling boy who upset the balance between the two fairies (Oberon and Titania). Some of you felt that Titania was rather obssessed with teh Indian boy while some thought that Oberon was not reasonable in his demand for the boy whose biologcal mother was a votress of Titania's order.
