Goodfellow, is a household sprite who constantly plays aggravating tricks on
people, however sometimes helped them with household chores. Fairies were
thought to be evil spirits who kidnapped children and sacrificed them to the
devil. However, Shakespeare redefined fairies into fairly tamer, more gentle
spirits, although they still get up to all sorts of mischief. Looking at the political
and historical context of the play, it is useful to note that Queen Elizabeths
nickname was The Fairy Queen, known as Titania in the play.
