Midsummer Night’s Dream
The idea in this novel is mainly focused on the subject of love, like for instance Hermia was given the choice by Theseus and her father to marry Demetrius or get killed, even though she is in love with Lysander.Theseus also managed to force marriage upon Helena and Demetrius, even though that Demetrius was in love with Hermia, and no one loved Helena, even though Demetrius and Helena have a past together. As you can tell, love is not something that everyone agrees on. The love feud between Lysander, Hermia, Helena, and Demetrius is the main problem in this fairy tale. And because of all of this disagreement on love there are several different versions on love, like for instance Egeus’s version of love is by forcing love upon someone, while Hermia’s version of love is by love happening naturally which is also called true love.
The feud started when Demetrius dumped Helena for Hermia, even though she was in love with Lysander and could care less about Demetrius, and now Helena follows Demetrius around like a lost puppy. He has told her several times that he no longer cares for her, but she still proceeds to follow. While that was happening, Hermia and Lysander are planning to run away together because Egeus (Hermia’s father) does not allow Hermia to marry Lysander, only Demetrius, and because of that Helena is wondering if Hermia is trying to take Demetrius from her to make her suffer more. But Helena didn’t know that she was being forced to marry him or be killed by her father’s request. Hermia has tried to explain this to her, but all Helena babbles about to Hermia is how beautiful she is and how she wants to be just like her and hopefully Demetrius will fall back in love with her. …show more content…
What Hermia and Lysander had in mind for their romantic escape was to leave at dawn and run into the wood and stay Lysander’s aunt’s house, because it’s outside of the city limits, so they could be left alone forever. But the problem with this, is that they decided to tell Helena about their escape. When they told her, she got the idea to tell Demetrius so that he could thank her, and so that he would finally talk to her again and that would please her for a long time. What Hermia and Lysander didn’t know was that Theseus and Hippolyta were planning their wedding in the wood which is were Hermia and Lysander are going.But in the wood, live Oberon, Titania, Puck, and all of their fairies.Oberon and Titania are the ones who control the forest. And Puck is Oberon’s “right hand man” so to speak.He is also known as the fairy that starts all of the trouble. But it also turns out that the humans aren’t the only ones having trouble with love. Oberon and Titania had just recently split up so they split the fairies and Titania got the changeling boy. Ever since they split, Oberon has been trying to get him but there was no chance of her giving up the changeling boy. Eventually, Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius ended up in the wood and then Oberon found out that they were there and wanted to have a little bit of fun, and obviously Puck would want to help. So what he wanted to do was”fix” the love problem that they were having.What he had wants to do is get a potion to put on Demetrius’s eyes to make him fall in love with Helena again, but instead of him doing it, he sent Puck and told him to put it into the eyes of the Athenian dude. The confusing thing is that Oberon didn’t even tell Puck which Athenian dude to put it on, so instead of putting on Demetrius, he put it on Lysander. Then when Oberon found out, he decided to fix it then he put the potion on Demetrius, and now both Lysander and Demetrius are in love with Helena, and now no one loves Hermia.When the men start giving all of their attention to Helena, she doesn’t accept it, because she thinks that they are
