Helena: Did you make Lysander mock me, to follow me and compliment my eyes and face? And made your other love Demetrius, who didnt even reject me with his foot, to call me goddess, beautiful, angelic, rare, precious, and heavenly? Why does he talk like that to a girl he can't stand and why does Lysander deny that he loves you, when he loves you so deeply? Why would he show me any affection, unless you told him to? Why does it matter that i'm not as lucky or lovable. So hung up on love, so lucky, but mostly sad to love someone who doesn't love you. You should have sympathy rather than hate.

Why? Oh I see how it is. She is talking about our height difference. She is showing off how tall she is. She won him over with her height.

You see how naive and foolish I've been.
Hermia: Well get out of here! Who's keeping you?
Helena: I leave behind my stupid heart.
Hermia: What, you're leaving it with Lysander?
Helena: No, with Demetrius.
Lysander: Don't be afraid. She won't hurt you, Helena.
Demetrius: No, she will not hurt you Helena even if you try to help
