Context: Oberon seems motivated by generosity towards humans and a need to bring harmony to them. He aims to use his magic to help resolve their problems. It is Puck who intensifies their difficulties by confusion and mismanagement of the spell-casting. His reaction is quite different from Oberon's. He sees mortals as fools and takes delight in complicating human lives. As he says: '...those things do best please me / That befall prepost'rously.' With overall power and control in Oberon's hands we can enjoy Puck's pranks and mistakes knowing that all will be resolved. |
