King argued in his letter that “…one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” and that “An unjust law is no law at all.”  Knowing that King felt this way, I was surprised that he would refer to Socrates, a man who believed quite the opposite, when arguing for his cause. <span>Like King, Socrates was imprisoned largely for standing up for beliefs that others around him disagreed with.  However, though he had numerous opportunities to do so, Socrates refused to break any laws, even though he knew that his imprisonment and condemnation were unjust.  To him, breaking any of the laws of Athens would cause harm to all laws, and not even the injustice of the laws could justify harming them.  Socrates believed that if individuals could obey or disobey the laws as they pleased, the laws would no longer be effective, and the government would fall into a state of chaos.  He concluded that the only just way for him to leave prison and avoid death would be to convince the legal system of its own injustice.</span>

Explore the initial interaction between Titania and Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. What do we learn about these two charac
faust18 [17]

From the first encounter between Oberon and Titania in “A midsummer night’s dream”, we learned that they are husband and wife, king and queen of the Fairies.  But they have rejected each other. Because they have not laid together they have caused a major shift in nature: harvests rot, rivers floods and the cattle die. “…the spring, the summer/ The childing autumn, angry winter, change/ Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world/ By their increase, now knows not which is which/ And this same progeny of evils comes/ From our debate, from our dissension/ We are their parents and original”.

So, they control nature, they are responsible of the seasonal cycle. In order to make up and stop these catastrophes, Oberon asks her to give him the “little changeling boy” she has taken from India, but Titania refuses since she wants to raise him because his mother, who has died, was a votaress of her order.
