Lesson outcome

I can explore Act 3 of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, focusing on the disordered relationships between the Athenian nobles and Titania and Bottom.

Show transcript
Oberon is pleased that Titania has fallen in love with Bottom. Oberon is angry that Puck put the magical potion on the wrong Athenian man. The relationship between Titania and Bottom is an example of disorder. For Elizabethans, Titania and Bottom’s relationship would be seen as especially funny because it disrupts the hierarchy. Elizabethans believed that everyone had their place in a hierarchical system called The Great Chain of Being.
