A Midsummer Night's Dream
By:Ryan Thomson, Ashlyn Roe, Josh Graybeal, Nyah Wilson
Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 322-344
Hermia finds out her best friend Helena has stolen her love, Lysander. The sides have switched, Helena and Hermia are each insulting each other and fighting over who should be with who.
The most important quote in our scene is...
" To Athens will i bear my folly back, and follow you no further. Let me go."
act 3 scene 2 lines 315-316
In these lines Helena is basically done with all the drama and wants to go back home to Athens and let everything return to the way it was.
This quote is important because Helena is trying to end the problem but everyone else keeps carrying on, causing the conflict to get worse.
Hermia, Helena, Lysander, And Demetrius character analysis
Lysander
He is significant because he is the one who gets the potion on him and messes everything up. He changed from Hermia to Helena and they are mad at each other. Lysander can be mean and calls Hermia an acorn.
Hermia
Hermia is Helena's best friend. her and Lysander were once in love and planned to be eloped before the magic spell. she is significant because her and Helena (who is now in love with Lysander) are best friends which is causing a huge fight between them which is the main conflict in this scene. Hermia's character trait of jealousy is affecting the conflict because she is over reacting to the situation instead of just having a conversation with her friend.
Demetrius
Demetrius is the guy that Hermia's dad wants her to marry. He is trying to gain over Helena between Lysander because puck but potion on Lysander and Demetrius eyes. Demetrius daring trait is affecting the conflict because e is egging on Lysander to fight him.
Helena
Helena is mad because Hermia blames her for stealing Lysander's heart. " A foolish heart I leave behind." Helena wants to be with Demetrius but Lysander falls in love with her by a spell.
