Describe the role of fairies in shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.please send me the answer to my question with suitable refrences from the...

In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” there are two essential
worlds: “the world of the court” and “The world of the wood”. The first ascribes the
hierarchic and rational Athenian court, in which Theseus, the Duke of Athens rules over
the young couples, Hermia/Lysander and Helena/Demetrius. In contrast to the well-ordered
Athenian court, the wood represents fantasy, imagination and dream. Titania and Oberon,
respectively the queen and the king of fairies, reign over
it.


Consequently, the wood pertains to the irrationality of
the events happening to the youth. Hence, as soon as they cross the threshold
court/wood, they succumb to a realm in which anything is possible because the rules
governing it are senseless and lawless and only make sense to the fairies. For example,
the use of the love potion is an artefact used by Oberon to alter the apparently order
of the events-the love potion makes the Athenians fall in love with the wrong people.
Furthermore, the love potion produces incoherence, for instance, when Titania falls in
love for one of the artisans who has been transformed into an
ass.


Conclusively, the fairies provide a primordial
function in the play. They set off the fantastical elements in order to make possible
the “dream”, which is the leitmotif of the play.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
