hair. Oberon is amused that Titania has fallen in love with a ridiculous mortal. In some versions, he doesn't let her go of her enchantment as payback and she stays in love with Bottom. They get married and later she is freed and is disgusted by the fact that she was in love with a man with a donkey's head. However, she is forced to stay with him since he is also deeply in love and kisses her every day and sleeps with her. Later, Oberon finally releases Titania from her enchantment.
