Long Answer

1. Titania implores her husband, Oberon, to cease their argument over the fate of the Indian Prince, as their discord is affecting the natural order of the world; the seasons are not progressing as they should. This is causing widespread disbelief and disruption. (2.1)

2. The love potion exemplifies the fickle and hyperbolic nature of new love; Demetrius is now in love with Helena, when previously he could not stand the sight of her. (3.2)

3. Queen Titania’s love for Bottom, who is literally at the “bottom” of society as a traveling player, and who sports a donkey’s head instead of a crown, exemplifies how the reversal of roles creates humor in the play.
