the fact that both Demetrius and Lysander are always suitors for the same women until the end. There is always tension between Lysander and Demetrius as well, reflecting the difficulties of love. One instance where love is clearly irrational is when Helena points out that she is just as fair as Hermia in the eyes of any other man, but Demetrius still loves Hermia.
