Character Overview
Oberon is depicted as a powerful and commanding figure. He is often at odds with his wife, Titania, over various issues, the most significant of which is the custody of a changeling boy. This conflict leads Oberon to use his servant, Puck, to administer a love potion to Titania, causing her to fall in love with the first creature she sees upon waking, which happens to be a weaver named Nick Bottom who has been transformed into a donkey.
Role in the Play
Oberon's actions drive much of the plot in A Midsummer Night's Dream. His decision to use the love potion on Titania leads to a series of comedic and chaotic events.

Despite his mischief, Oberon ultimately seeks to restore order and harmony by the end of the play.
