How does oberon intend to blackmail Titania into giving him what he wants?

beacaue she is let the potion innto her eyse and he is tricking her


What is Titania's strengths and weaknesses from a mid summer night dream?

She is a pretty powerful character, able to stand up quite effectively to Oberon. In her long speech in 2,1 she talks about the environmental disasters caused by the argument between herself and Oberon, and says "We are their parents and original". Oberon replies, "Do you amend it then; it lies in you" which makes it look as if Oberon is heaping all the blame on her when she is prepared to share it. But whether or not she is prepared to share the blame, she is certainly just as selfish as Oberon when it comes to stopping the environmental disasters by giving up the Indian boy. It is not really fair to assess Titania's strengths and weaknesses on the basis of her actions when she is under the influence of the love-in-idleness flower, but once cured, she is herself again and she seems to have totally forgotten about the boy. Apparently that was an excuse to argue with Oberon which makes her pretty petty. She is also pretty rude about poor old Bottom. On the other hand, she shows a forgiving nature toward Oberon and they proceed to bless the wedding which is a good thing.

Who hypnotized everyone in a midsummer night's dream?

Nobody hypnotized everyone, and it is entirely probable that nobody hypnotized anyone. Giving people drugs doesn't usually count as "hypnotizing" and that's what happened to Lysander, Demetrius and Titania. There is a point where Oberon, in order to listen in on Helena and Demetrius, says "I am invisible" and thereafter nobody can see him. Was this a result of hypnosis? Probably not. Puck uses some tricks to disguise himself when appearing to the mechanicals as a horse, hound, hog, bear and fire, and then again when he leads Demetrius and Lysander astray as a disembodied voice. Again, his ability to transform himself would appear to be magic, not hypnosis.
