From the very beginning of his comedy Shakespeare creates an imaginary line between order and disorder. By creating a couple who is supposed to represent the orderly and mortal world (Hippolyta and Theseus) he is able to illustrate the disorderly and disillusioned world of Oberon and Titania. We see the line being drawn between Athens and the woods. Whereas Hippolyta and Theseus alwa

On a last note, Theseus and Hippolyta are regarded throughout the play as being a loving couple, never really displeasing one another. They serve to be the ideal couple within the play in which the three other pairs of lovers should attempt to emulate. Nevertheless, their flawless relationship further points out just how dysfunctional and dynamic the love between Oberon and Titania truly is. On this note, besides the point that Theseus and Hippolyta have conflicting views on the time period between four days the two seem to be joining in a happy courtship. On the other hand, Oberon and Titania seem to have a more dynamic relationship. From the beginning of the play they seem to despise one another. They seem very wary of the love each supposedly has for the other. Oberon, more so than Titania, seems to have no conscious when it comes to taking her beloved boy as well. On another note, Titania seems to attempt to show her true love for Oberon more frequently. She begs him to be patient with her. She says, “Perchance till after Theseus’ wedding day. If you will patiently dance in our round and see our moonlight revels, go with us. If not, shun me, and I will spare your haunts” (II.i.141-144). He dismisses her wishes and does what he must to acquire that boy no matter what the consequences will be. Even after Titania comes to, and the spell is reversed, Oberon still seems pitiless. Titania is the one who has to submit her feelings to Oberon to create temporary order within their world and the world they encompass. She never seems to object to him acquiring the boy or even questioning how she had lost possession of him. The two suddenly seem happy together, all is well, and they bless Theseus and Hippolyta in their union after four days of absolute disillusionment within the woods. By the end of the play, Titania successfully shows what a transformation her love with Oberon has undergone. Instead of fighting and causing disorder within the seasons “Hand and hand, with fairy grace, will we [Titania and Oberon] sing, and bless this place” (V.i.394-395). So as you can see as Hippolyta and Theseus’ relationship has remained the same,
