A Midsummer Night's Dream
By Mia, Bailey, Jackson, and Nic
Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 188-256
Summary of Scene
Important Quote
Demetrius: "For I am sick when I do look on thee."
When I look at you I feel sick.
Helena: "And I am sick when I look not on you."
And I feel sick when I am not looking at you.
This quote is important because it portrays that Helena is obsessive and desperate. It also shows that even though Demetrius doesn't love her and treats her poorly Helena still loves him.
Puck
Played by Mia
Puck is a fairy. He is significant because he uses the "love" flower to make the characters fall in love. Puck is encounters a major conflict. He tries to fix the problem of people loving the wrong people by sprinkling the "love" flower over Demetrius. Instead he mistake's Lysander for Demetrius. This causes Lysander to fall in love with Helena even though he really loves Hermia and she loves him. Puck messed up and caused and even greater problem. Puck is oblivious because he doesn't notice that he puts the flower on the wrong person. He didn't look hard enough and just assumed that the sleeping man was Demetrius. If he was not oblivious then maybe he would have put the "love" flower over the right person.
Demetrius
Played by Jackson
Demetrius likes Hermia, but Helena likes Demetrius. Since Demetrius likes Hermia he dose not like Helena so he keeps turning her down multiple times, but Helena dose not seem to get it. Helena keeps coming back and trying to get it with Demetrius.
Demetrius is sunifacant because he keeps running away and hiding from Helena and try to find hermia , as he say "i run from you and hide"
Helena
Played by Bailey
She is in love with Demetrius
She is encountering her love for Demetrius but he doesn't love her back.
The character trait that is affecting the conflict is that is is obsessing over Demetrius. He doesn't love her but she is not going to give up.
Oberon
Played by Nic
My character is the king of the fairy's oberon and is the one that comes up with the love flower idea. He is significant because his idea is the one that causes the whole plot between Helena, Hermia, Demetrius, and Lysander. Oberons conflict is with puck because Puck keeps giving the flower to the wrong person so therefore causing the wrong people to fall in love and making them fight over each other. When Oberon feels bad for them it causes the whole conflict because if he didn't see it then the love flower never would have been there.
