Characterizations...
Hermia-
Hermia is the one who has both Lysander and Demetrius' heart. Herima is significant because she is ordered to marry Demetrius when she loves Lysander. A conflict Hermia has faced would be her to pick to marry Demetrius or die, instead she runs off in the woods with Lysander, while Demetrius and Helena short on their tail.
Helena
Helena is Hermia's best friend and the one who is in love with Demetrius. The problem is, however, Demetrius does not love Helena but in fact Hermia, but Helena is determined to change all of that. Helena is significant because her desperate attempts to regain Demetrius' heart by telling Hermia's entrusted secret of running off with Lysander to avoid having to marry Demetrius, become a nun, or be put to death to Demetrius. This effects the plot by causing Demetrius to go off after Hermia, with Helena just a few steps behind, and end up getting into a fight with Helena in the woods while Oberon, the fairy king, is watching, causing oberon to send his messanger, Puck, to put a love spell on him, which ends up being put on Lysander. This, in the end, forces Lysander to fall in love with Helena and create the conflict that Helena has to face in the scene that we a preforming, the " cat- fight" between her and Hermia. In the " cat- fight" scene, hermia confronts Helena and blames her for Lysander no longer loving her and falling in love with Helena. Helena argues right back, calling her a " puppet" and a "vixen" until it all spirals out of control and Helena ends up running from the scene in a desperate attempt to avoid Hermia's "fierceness."
