Greed: a selfish desire to have more of something. Money is the root of all evil, but greed is the stem for such root. Such an evil plant will only yield a bitter fruit. Or the other way to name the fruit is repercussion. This ideology could be applied in the tale Midsummers night dream. Midsummers night dream is a tale of four lovers being subjected to physical, emotional, and judicial constraints. Amusingly true love can drive a person insane. It is insane enough to make tough decisions like eloping within minutes. The four lovers are Athenian upper class-Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena. Lysander and Hermia are the true lovers that decide to elope. Unfortunately, their adventure is intervened by Demetrius, he is in love with Hermia

Oberon feeling sorry for Helena tries helping out by ordering puck (his servant) to enchant Demetrius-Helena 's love into loving her back. Sadly it worsens the whole scenario. After analyzing the tale, it could be understood that personality traits could bring that person from bad to worse situations. Puck would be blamed, as he was the one to enchant the Athenians. But if critically thought, Demetrius should be blamed. His crudeness and obduracy are shown mainly in three situations. One, the clash between Hermia and her father. Second, Demetrius ' pursuit for eloping Hermia 's fervor. Third, Demetrius ' discard of Helena 's love. Firstly, during the disagreement of Hermia and her father to whom she would marry, Demetrius backed up Egues (Hermia 's father), resulting a heated argument causing an instant deision. “Scornful Lysander true he hath my love. And she is mine and all my right of her I do estate unto Demetrius” (2.1.242-246). This was said by Egues after Lysander put down Demetrius. This heated argument could be held responsible for Lysander and Hermia 's retreat to the forest. Well of course followed by Demetrius. …show more content…
Others could be blamed, but this spotlight is stolen for Helena. In a way Helena could be convicted, even though her love pursuit was true. Three instances show that Helena is also guilty. First, betraying her friend using the excuse that love is blinding is wrong. It is blinding for sure but not to an extent that the person betrays their friends. “ I will go tell him about fair Hermia 's flight......to have his sight thither and back again. ” (3.2.149-152). Now this would intervene with Hermia and Lysander 's abscond. This also shows how naive she was when it came to love. Although not as naive as in the second scenario. The scenario in which finally Demetrius love became bona fide. Sadly it was too sudden for her, making her think of it as a mocking. “Can you not hate me as I know you do, but you must join in souls to mock me” (3.2.149-152). It also could be understood that Helena was not able to distinguish the truth from a mocking. Other way to see it is that she has had no prior experience of a mocking. Her inadequacy of matureness affected the trio-Lysander, Demetrius and Hermia, negatively. Finally, all this could have been avoided. All the drama and the emotional abuse could have been averted had she evaluated Demetrius ' intentions. “Ay in the temple, in the town, the field, your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex” (2.1.242-246). The prior quote tells how he used Helena and after he was repleted by her love, he just discards her
