Caelia (“SEE-lia”), a queen of these creatures, rules over a land where women have killed their warmongering (-5[1])men in Richard Johnson’s Tom a Lincoln. In a work titled for one of these creatures, Archimago tricks a knight into thinking his love Una is unchaste; (10[1])that man, the Redcrosse Knight, serves one of these creatures named Gloriana who represents Queen Elizabeth I. (10[1])Another one of these creatures calls himself “that merry wanderer of the night” and anoints Lysander’s eyes with a purple flower (10[1])that makes a queen of these creatures fall (10[1])in love (10[1])with Bottom. For 10 points, name these creatures exemplified by Oberon and Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. ■END■
