Helena

in his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream with his two strong female characters. The two female roles are Hermia and Helena which are both cool and I like but When it comes to picking my favorite it would have to be Helena. Last, Helena is my favorite character because she is always determined to accomplish what ever she sets her mind to. The first reason that stuck out to me and made Helena my favorite character is because she is loyal. Some may say she is not because she broke Hermias trust and told

Act 3: Characters backstory Helena is a tall Athenian women who is quite beautiful, based off the opinions of others. She is shy, timid, and very insecure due to the lack of attention she gets from men, more specifically Demetrius. The reason she is so insecure is because the one thing she acquires most in life, to be loved by Demetrius. However this is something she can’t seem to get no matter how hard she tries. As seen in the story, Helena is treated awful by Demetrius who makes it very clear

It is quite obvious that Helena and Hermia are close friends, as Helena even compares them to a “double cherry,” meaning their relationship is like a sisterly one. Their friendship, however, gets torn apart as Demetrius and Lysander both love Hermia, leaving Helena with no one. This of course causes tension between the two, as Helena is jealous of the situation Hermia is in. Hermia, on the other hand, calls Helena “fair” meaning she is beautiful, but Helena takes this more of an insult because in

At the beginning of A Midsummer Night’s Dream Helena says that, “love is blind”, this idea foreshadows the characters Helena and Titania actions. After Titania gets the flower in her eyes, she wakes up and sees Bottom the first thing she says is, “One the first view to say, to swear, I love thee”(3.1.121). For example, Titania was told to wake up when something nasty appears, so when she wakes she sees bottom this very poor man who has turned into a donkey (by puck). When she wakes up she sees Bottom

Hermia and Helena when compared have many similarities and many differences. They both show similar and opposing traits from one another. Helena is a lot taller than Hermia for one, but Helena knows that Hermia would probably beat her in a fight due to her fast hands. They also seem to differ when it comes to self confidence. Hermia is happy and confident about herself and has a man that loves her. Whereas Helena chases the man of her dreams and Demetrius always puts her down verbally and Helena acts like

is in love with Helena rather than his actual love, Hermia. A bit later, he wakes up and sees Helena, making him think he’s in love with her. She is confused, and tries to convince Lysander that his love for her isn’t real and the words he’s saying to her should be directed to Hermia. Following this, Demetrius, who also has a love spell put on him, wakes up and sees Helena. He compliments her, calling her a goddess and telling her that her eyes are of most beauty ever seen.

observe a confused Helena trying to avoid Lysander and Demetrius. Helena had been previously introduced as woman desperately in love with Demetrius; when reintroduced, Helena is shown trying to evade Demetrius as well as Lysander, both of which had suddenly experienced a change of heart. Through the argument between Demetrius, Lysander, and Helena, Shakespeare supports that past events can cause someone to act differently than expected. Readers must be a bit puzzled when Helena shows her response

interactions illustrate that you should not trust everything you hear. Certainly, the climax takes place during this situation, where Lysander and Demetrius fell victim to Oberon’s spell and fell in love with Helena. The two express their love for her and their hatred for Hermia, but Helena does not believe them. Helena’s refusal to believe Lysander and Demetrius illustrates that she is persistent because she would not accept Lysander and Demetrius’s words, no matter how passionate and sincere they

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this is what Helena tells Demetrius. This odd story takes place in the woods and features many characters being tricked in and out of loving other characters.
