It is late enough that I am willing to argue that when Oberon put the love potion on Titania’s eyes he turned her into a succubus no I will not explain myself
#writing a final paper#vera writes#vera rants#and after reading a smidge of robert burton I can conclude that the fairies in a midsummer night's dream are demons#or at least puck is#because he can fly really fast and he's a shapeshifter#and those are two of the points burton makes in his books for demon behavior#and the anatomy of melancholy is the definitive medical book of shakespeare's time and influenced a butt ton of mindsets in that day and age#and when titania is put under the effects of the potion she seduces bottom#her language is very evocative and there's a lot of subtext#and this is a silly theory but I need more stuff in my paper and it's an interesting theory#will my professor think it's bull? maybe#do I think it's cool? yes#did I already send him an email about adjusting my thesis that ended with 'from behind a stack of folklore books and a dying laptop'? yes#so maybe he won't mind#and he likes rabbit trails anyway#and I quoted the anatomy of melancholy twice so I gotta get brownie points for that#vera is very tired and on a roll#vera uses a paper as an excuse to rant about folklore and fairy tales#vera imposes her wacky theory onto her small corner of tumblr#vera needs to go to bed
