Do the settings in a midsummers night dream symbolize anything?

There is a kind of symbolic differentiation between the court and the forest. Theseus is in charge in the court, and Oberon is in charge of the forest. Although both visit the other's domain, it is clear that they are visitors. It is possible to think of the court as representing rationality, control, and social stability, and the forest as representing irrationality, magic, and licentiousness.
