The Queen of the Fairies is a beautiful and ethereal creature, fond of elegant song and dance and attended by a train of equally lovely spirits. When she first appears in the play, she is angry at her "husband,"" Oberon, who is continually demanding that she give him one of her attendants, an "Indian boy- whose mother had been one of her worshippers. Titania refuses to give the boy up, and refuses to sleep with Oberon until he stops asking. Unfortunately, Oberon decides to get his revenge on her by putting love-juice on her eyes so that she falls in love with something ridiculous. He is successful: with Puck's help, he makes the gorgeous and refined Titania fall hopelessly in love with Bottom the Weaver, who is not only a commoner but also has been temporarily given the head of a donkey. After letting her stay that way for a while, and getting the Indian boy from her, Oberon changes her back to herself - and their relationship returns to its former harmony. .

When Oberon decides to put the love-juice on Titania's eyes, it's as if he is saying to himself, "Well, if she is going to love someone other than me, let's make it be someone really awful.
