That's okay, Claudia; reading Shakespeare in English tends to throw him too.

"Seeing people acting it out usually gives more context, I think. And language changes over time and Shakespeare apparently really liked his wordplay." Which has nothing to do with anything, but Shinobu has tried reading Shakespeare in English and honestly still kind of gets turned around until he's dizzy on some of the phrasing.

"Anyway, there's a play of his called A Midsummer Night's Dream, which among other characters features Titania and Oberon, the king and queen of the faeries."
