Titania (Shakespeare) facts for kids

One of William Blake's illustration to his The Song of Los, scholars have traditionally identified the figures as Titania and Oberon. This copy, currently held by the Library of Congress, was printed and painted in 1795.

Titania is a character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. She is Queen of the Fairies. She is married to Oberon, King of the Fairies. She will not give a little Indian boy she has in her keeping to Oberon. This angers him. When she is asleep, he tells his servant Puck to put a love potion in her eyes. This potion will make her love the first thing she sees when she wakes. What she sees is a weaver named Bottom. Puck has put a donkey's head on Bottom. All ends well, with Titania once again in love with Oberon.
