titania
Titania is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium with the chemical formula TiO2. It is also commonly known as titanium dioxide. It is often used in pigments due to its brightness and high refractive index, and its white color makes it ideal for use in a variety of industries such as paint, sunscreen, cosmetics, and even food. It is also notable for its photocatalytic activity, which makes it useful in the fields of renewable energy and anti-pollution materials. Titania can exist in various mineral forms, including rutile, anatase, and brookite. Additionally, "Titania" is also the name of the queen of the fairies in William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and it is one of the moons of the planet Uranus.

Titania
Titania is a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the play, she is the queen of the fairies. Due to Shakespeare's influence, later fiction has often used the name "Titania" for fairy queen characters. In traditional folklore, the fairy queen has no name. Shakespeare took the name "Titania" from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where it is an appellation given to the daughters of Titans. Shakespeare's Titania is a very proud creature and as much of a force to contend with as her husband Oberon. The marital quarrel she and Oberon are engaged in over which of them should have the keeping of an Indian changeling boy is the engine that drives the mix ups and confusion of the other characters in the play. Due to an enchantment cast by Oberon's servant Puck, Titania magically falls in love with a 'rude mechanical', Nick Bottom the Weaver, who has been given the head of an ass by Puck, who feels it is better suited to his character. It has been argued that this incident is an inversion of the Circe story. In this case the tables are turned on the character and, rather than the sorceress turning her lovers into animals, she is made to love an ass after Bottom has been transformed.
