Reading Passage: Act II, Scene I – Oberon’s Monologue
Now, as I am an honest man, I do beleeve that I have some small matter of unwonted joy, or some such thing, that can make a man mad. But I shall be somewhat more explicit. When I look upon the fairy realm, I see a place where love and magic intertwine, like the threads of a enchanted tapestry. The moonlight dances upon the dew, casting spells that turn mortal hearts into wild, untrammeled passions. O, how the fairy queen’s laughter echoes through the woods, whispering secrets of enchanted love to those who listen. As I watch the lovers below, I see their hearts flit and flutter, caught in a web spun by tiny wings and moonbeams, as if the very essence of fairy magic has taken root in their souls. This is the realm where love defies reason, and magic is woven into every breath of the night air. Truly, the fairy world is a place of wonder, where dreams and reality blur in a dance as old as time itself.
