Magic causes confusion, misdirected love, and comic chaos when a fairy spell makes characters fall for the wrong people. It also helps set things right, leading to reconciliation and a happy ending. Oberon uses magic to fix the lovers’ troubles and to punish Titania and reconcile with her following their quarrel. Puck, his mischievous servant, carries out these spells but makes mistakes that create much of the play’s confusion.
