*Athenian law didn't allow a girl to choose her husband. Kings were the ones who choose husbands for their daughters or else they have to choose between death or turning to be a nun. This was clearly shown in mid summer nights dream when Hermia and Lysander were in love but Hermia'a father wanted her to marry Demetrius. And ehen she disagreed, she was told that the Athenian law will be applied on her , so they decided to elope.
*Oberon and Titania were not on good terms , yhey were arguing on the indian boy , as Titania wanted to grow him up as her son and Oberon wanted to grow him up as one of his courtiers.
*in mid summer nights dream,nature was affected by fairies. For instance, the fairies had a great role as they had power to change situations from good to bad or even from bad to good in human beings lives or between them "fairies", which was clear as when Oberon, the king of the fairies, and Titania were arguing because of an indian boy, whom Oberon wanted to take from Titania but Titania disagreed, so Obero planned against Titania and ordered Puck to put the juice of the purple flower in her eyes when she sleeps which would lead to a magical love between Titania and the first person or fairy or animal or whatever she sees.
Moreover, nature was affected by the fairies on human beings as for example, when Oberon saw Demetrius and Helena in the woods as Helena was in love with Demetrius, but Demetrius didn't love her, although she thought that if she told him about Hermia and Lysander's plan to elope together through the woods would make Demetrius love her as Demetrius loved Hermia, not Helena. When Oberon saw Demetrius telling Helena that he hates her and kept on telling her to stop following him, Oberon ordered Puck to put some of the purple flower juice in the eyes of a man wearing Athenian Clothes, but actually he found Lysander and he thought he was the man Oberon was talking about and when Lysander woke up, he saw Helena immediately instead of Hermia so he felt in love with her and stopped loving Hermi. When Oberon knew that mistake, Puck's mistake, he ordered Puck to correct it by putting the juice in Demetrius's eyes.
