Titania is put under a love potion which causes her to fall inlove with Bottom who changed into a creature of some kind. His head had turned into one of a donkey. Titania is so inlove with Bottom that she uses her power to grant him access to anything that he wants. This is a conflict for Titania because she doesn't know that Oberon bewitched her to fall inlove with something abnormal.
