In the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" written by William Shakespeare, the character, King Oberon acts like an enemy to his wife and a friend to the lovers in the woods.
Oberon as an enemy to his wife: In the play, the Queen Titania had a changeling boy who belonged to her servant, who gave her life protecting the queen, so this changeling was precious to the Queen but Oberon was jealous of the boy. In his jealousy, he tricks his wife to fall in love with an animal.

And with the help of his love potion, Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Hippolyta were able to resolve their fighting also.
