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.
<u>A.</u> The grit is the passion and perseverance before the long-term goals. It is determination, courage, perseverance to achieve success. People with high degree of confidence know what they want, they are insistent and tenacious despite the obstacles that arise. Angela Duckworth associates perseverance with tenacity and willpower.
Thoreau's <em>overall</em> viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.
