The clarity of Titania's voice is quite sublime - with the most wondrous enunciation. It has a soothing , soporific effect. No more will I listen to the howling of the wind on UA-cam for my sleeplessness. For here lies my remedy.
People must not understand what's going on In this monologue or scene, Because if they did they wouldn't make the statement about the tears. You did a wonderful job; thanks for sharing this with me, I'm doing this monologue and you helped me with some idea on how to perform it. So thanks!
She might have been genuinely moved in reciting it. This passage is one of the sublimest in English poetry. The ear and imagination in this moment of Shakespeare is ridiculous. It is Will Shakespeare at his pinnacle.
I'm not an actor, but it must be somewhat difficult even to recite something like, 'never since the middle summer's spring,' without sounding and feeling a bit silly. It is really a quite absurd though beautiful line, but this barmy play is full of that sort of thing. I know it is a comedy but that didn't necessarily mean silly back then, apparently. This is powerful stuff.
The King and the Queen of the Fairies are arguing over a child. And because of their arguments nature is at war with itself. As she said 'We are their parents'.
on the contrary, Titania is a queen, and a queen of the fair folk at that. Passion and control are two sides of the same coin. If the combination unnerves you, remember that Titania is inhuman.

ironic that in outsourced she played a woman who needed speech lessons and here she speaks magnificently.
Those eyes, I am enchanted and unnerved at the same time.
Which honestly is exactly the kind of effect I think the queen of the fairies should have.
Her voice is magical ⭐️

The play I saw (on Shakespeare's 400th death celebration) was a midsummers dream I won't forget ;-)
I'll have to watch this when I'm of clearer mind because right now she reminds me of Evelyn Draper, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I watched you today!! You were so good! So so so glad I got a selfie with you #PlayForTheNation
that woman just simply destroys me. Aaaaagh. thanks, Ayesha.
Alright, Alright 😁👏👏👏
What were the tears for?. .. I don't get it.
MAO She's playing Titania full of guilt and grief over the misery and discord caused by herself and Oberon's disagreement.

Ishmael Forester I also love the subtle undertone of frustration and anger in her voice at the consequences of their petty squabble. Refreshing take.

Read this with climate change in mind -- what the hell :o
Mashallah. Excellent.
Gotta love homework
This is not a soliloquy at all. Titania is speaking to Oberon and she's pissed off at him. This recitation might as well be Hamlet musing to himself.
❤
Petty river? Pelting isn't it?
Ummmm why am I now thinking about climate change?
me too!

scary
THAT'S WHAT I SAID!
poor sound.
Lacks passion & emotion
Understated, certainly; but it has a subtle power. Worth rewatching, I think.

Overly dramatic. The tears are too much and too over-flowing.
