Hermia

In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Characters are put to the test and exposed for their true nature.

“Why are you grown so rude? What change is this, / Sweet love?” (Shakespeare 2.3.272-273) Hermia responds to Lysander’s change in feelings caused by a love potion. Hernia is a static character while Lysander is dynamic in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this play written by Shakespeare, there are many characterizations, dramatic techniques, and themes.

Their confrontation in Act III, scene ii is often played as a comic catfight, but that ignores the poignancy of Helena’s speech, in which she pleads with her “sister” not to “rend [their] ancient love asunder” by conspiring with the men to shame her. Hermia, however, does not listen, and the two dissolve into a torrent of mutual abuse.

Dream every couple had issues that they had to overcome. No matter what obstacles occur, people always end up with who they should be with. Body 1- Hermia is willing to do anything, even disobey her father and put her life in danger to be with Lysander.
