Demetrius’ feelings are expressed fully in Act II, Scene when, after Helena follows him into the forest, he says “I love thee not, therefore pursue me not” (II.i.554). Demetrius is saying as clearly as he can, that he feels nothing for Helena.…

Outside help is needed for true love to prosper, this shows what the author defines love as. This circle of love and jealousy where Helen loves Demetrius who loves Hermia, who loves Lysander, who ends up loving Helen can only be halted by the magic and meddling of mischievous fairies.

“real” world. Puck was suppose to put the juice on Demetrius, but he applied it to the wrong Athenian man.

The beginning of the play began with people cleaning up the stage with brooms. The three people were slouched over sweeping close together. This showed medium topography and close…
