Another Shakespeare’s play I just read.
Egeus wanted his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, but Hermia wanted to marry Lysander instead. Egeus asked Prince Theseus to give a ruling that Hermia must obey her father, or if she breaks the law of Athens, she must either die or live as a nun. Hermia and Lysander ran away from Athens laws, but Demetrius who loved Hermia followed them when Helena, Hermia’s friend who loved Demetrius told him about the escape. Helena was indeed foolish because she thought Demetrius will love her when she told him Hermia’s whereabouts. When Helena was chasing after Demetrius, King Oberon the King of the fairies in the wood outside Athens, saw them. He told his servant Puck to put some juice of love-in-idleness flower to Demetrius eyes when he was asleep so that when he woke up, he’ll fall in love with Helena, the first thing he saw. King Oberon was also saving some juice for his wife, Queen Titania, but to trick her to hand him over a child. Earlier that morning, Puck turned the head of an actor, Bottom into a donkey’s head without his notice. Bottom ran into Queen Titania after King Oberon put the magical juice on her eyes. They fell in love and the child was given to King Oberon. Puck however put the juice on Lysander and he fell in love when Helena instead. King Oberon then asked Puck to bring Helena to Demetrius when he heard them talking about Lysander chasing after her. Now both men are fighting for Helena. To solve this problem, King Oberon asked Puck to imitate both men’s voice and lure them away from each other. Then Puck put some magical juice on Lysander’s eyes to stop him from loving Helena. Seeing that Demetrius was in love with Helena, King Theseus gave a ruling that Hermia didn’t have to marry Demetrius.
