A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare Oberon...

A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare: Oberon is the Root of All Problems in the Play â€Å"We cant solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.† – Albert Einstein Oberon is one of the most important characters in the play A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare and is the answer to the question of why there are so many problems in the play.

Although Oberon did not give precise instructions, Puck rushed and acted without thinking, much like his Master often does. When he was searching through the forest, Puck said: Through the forest have I gone. /But Athenian found I none, /On whose eyes I might approve /This flowers force in stirring love. /Night and silence.—Who is here? /Weeds of Athens he doth wear: /This is he, my master said, /Despised the Athenian maid; /And here the maiden, sleeping sound, /On theShow MoreRelatedWaning Of Shakespeare s A Midsummer Night s Dream1465 Words   |  6 PagesMoon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream Before the birth of William Shakespeare as a playwright, no craftsman could skillfully create a world composed of contradictions so shocking, yet profoundly insightful to the human condition.
