Question

The characters are a part of the stage setting. How does this reflect when the
characters of the play range from the Duke and the Indian boy to the faeries?​

Answer 1

Answer:

We are told that the Changeling Boy is a lovely little boy from India, who has been spending all his time with Titania. But that is all that is clear. There are conflicting stories about how Titania has come to have the boy in her care. Both Oberon and Titania give their own explanation of him and his origin.

Oberon claims that the little boy has been stolen from a king of India (which makes the Changeling Boy a prince) and that Titania has taken him for her own. Titania tells a completely different story of how she got the boy. According to the Queen of the Fairies, her good friend died in childbirth and Titania has agreed to raise the boy out of love for his mother.
