Robin Goodfellow (Puck)
There Is Magic In The World.
Robin, also known as puck, is the mischevious fairy in the play. Throughout the play, Puck displays magic throughout majority of the story. Because Puck is a fairy anyway, he casts spells and grants wishes. In the beginning of Act 2, Puck explains different things he is able to do. "I'll trick a fat, well-fed horse into thinking that i'm a young female horse. sometimes I hide at the bottom of an old woman's drink disguised as a apple." (II.i.30) Although sometimes it can be funny, Puck is a very troublesome fairy. He made people fall in and out of love also.
People's Actions Can Influence Other People's Lives.
As we know, Puck is a very mischievious fairy. Throughout the play, Puck is being sent on missions to make people fall in love. But of course, mistakes were made throughout the process. Hermia and Lysander is in love. Helena is in love with Demetrius but Demetrius is still in love with Hermia. In scene 2 of Act 2, Puck is going on his mission. "Who is here? Weeds of Athens he doth wear. This is he, my master said, Despised the Athenian maid." (II.ii.56-59) Puck thinks he has the right man, because when Oberon sent him on his mission, he said the man will be wearing anthenian clothes, but what Oberon and Puck fail to realize is Demetrius and Lysander is both in the forest wearing Anthenian clothes. The spell was suppose to be used on Demetrius, but the man Puck saw was actually Lysander. So Lysander ended up falling in love with Hermia.
People's Ideas Of Love Can, And Often Do, Change.
Oberon and Titania are married. But they are having a fight because Titania is raising a little boy that Oberon wants. So Oberon sends Puck to get a flower that he saw Cupids arrow fall upon, to cast a love spell on Titania. "And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move me on the first view to stay, to swear, I love thee." (III.i.66-67) Oberon put the spell on Titania while she was sleeping and the first person who she sees is the person she falls in love with. She woke up to Bottom singing, and fell in love with him and forgot all about Oberon.
Connecting To Character
I have a few similarities with Puck, but also some differences. Puck is a very naughty person. He causes trouble to anyone he feels like to. Which I find relating to me. I am the type of person to cause trouble, just because I would find it funny. But sometimes Puck takes it too far. And that's where our differences come in. I have a limit on the bad things I do. Puck does not.
