A midsummer night's dream: the fairies





What is true of the moon applies to the fairies. They are a curious mixture of wood spirits and household gods, pagan deities and local pixies. They inhabit the environs of Athens and follow the fortunes of Theseus and Hippolyta, but they are clearly the spirits whom we can consider \"almost essential to a Midsummer Play,\" detectably English in character and habit. Through Titania and her train, Shakespeare emphasizes their innocence and delicacy; in Oberon and Puck, he expresses their darker side, potentially malevolent in the lore of the time.

-David P. Young, Something of Great Constancy:
The Art of A Midsummer Night\'s Dream, 1966
