What role do Theseus and Hippolyta play in A Midsummer Night's Dream What is the significance of the fact that they are absent from the plays main action?
Theseus has the role of an authority figure, blocking the romance of Hermia and Lysander, and providing the motivation for them to enter the forest. Later, in the same role, Theseus is able to provide reconciliation and resolution to the lovers' situation by allowing them to pair off in the way they desire. Theseus and Hippolyta together provide the occasion of an upcoming marriage. This is the pretext for the mechanicals' play. Their wedding also becomes the event around which the final action in the play coalesces: the play Pyramus and Thisbe and the wedding of the lovers. Theseus as an authority figure can only operate in the town; in the forest he is beyond his jurisdiction, which is why Hermia and Lysander go there. For so long as the action is in the forest, Theseus is absent. Oberon is the king there.
