Which Shakespeare play has faries in?

A Midsummer nights Dream


Who are the faries in a midsummer night dream?

the fairies in a midsummer night's dream are: Titania: the queen of the fairies Oberon: the king of the fairies Robin Goodfellow: a 'Pick' or mischievous fairy And Titania's little fairy helpers: Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote and Mustardseed


What sort of explanation will Oberon Make to titanias question about what happened to her?

Oberon will likely explain to Titania that he used the magic flower's juice to enchant her while she slept, causing her to fall in love with the first creature she sees upon waking. He may express regret for the chaos it caused but justify his actions as a means to regain the changeling boy she was unwilling to part with. Ultimately, he aims to reconcile with her and restore harmony in their relationship.


In Shakespeare's time were there any superstitions about witches and fairies?

For the same reason people these days are superstitious. People have a hardwired tendency to view certain things as significant, which includes anything which is unusual. So an unusual coincidence or event will impinge on people's mind and they will not accept that it is just chance or a coincidence. They have to find some other reason to account for it, probably one involving the supernatural or some huge conspiracy. If you don't think people these days are superstitious, what were you thinking on Dec. 21, 2012? Hmmm . . .


What is mercutio attitude to dreams?

"The Queen Mab speech is really stupid so Mercutio is trying to tell Romeo that dreams are stupid" - WORST possible answer you could be given. He relates Queen Mab to, as nicely as I can put this, whores. He describes a DARK, DARK world through a description of faries. Queen Mab brings dreams to each person, made for the specific person, lawyers dream of money and cases, lovers dream of love and soldiers dream of killing the enemy. It also says that Queen Mab makes women how they are.
