Hermia: The more I hate, the more he follows me.
Helena: The more I love, the more he hateth me. (p.15)
I read A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is a romantic comedy written by William Shakespear. It is one of his most popular works and it is still performed across the world.
There are a lot of characters in this story. Egeus is father of Hermia. Harmia is in love with Lysander. Theseus is duke of Athens and his wife is Hippolyta. Demetrius is a suitor to Harmia and he is former lovers of Helena. Also some fairies appear.
Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius but she doesn't love him. She loves Lysander. However, Egeus wants his daughter killed if she doesn't follow his command. So, Hermia and Lysander run off together and get lost in the deep forest. Demetrius and Helena followed them. Fairy live in this forest. One of fairy puts love potion on Lysander's eyes by accident. After that Lysander fall in love with Helena and forsake Hermia. So, Hermia gets angry. She fights with Helena.
But the end of this story, everyone become happy. Can you guess what happened?
