"I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you.
Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave,
Unworthy as I am, to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love--
And yet a place of high respect with me--
Than to be used as you use your dog?" (2.1 lines 202-209)
She's one sick puppy.

How does Demetrius explain the return of his love for Helena?
Part of the meaning of Midsummer Night's Dream is that love is irrational. We know that Demetrius falls in love with Helena because of a magical love-juice but there is no rational coherent reason why Helena should love him either. She just does.
What is the main storyline of midsummer night dream?
The main storyline concerns the young people Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius and Helena. Hermia and Lysander are lovers, but Demetrius wants to marry Hermia too, and has Hermia's father and the law on his side. Helena used to be Demetrius's girlfriend, but he dumped her to chase after Hermia. To escape the law, Lysander and Hermia plan to fly the country through the wood next to town, and Helena and Demetrius follow. Due to the unexpected interference of various fairies in the wood, Lysander is magicked into loving Helena, then Demetrius is magicked into loving her also. The spell on Lysander is reversed so he goes back to loving Hermia, and they are found and invited to return to the city and to marry each other, Lysander marrying Hermia and Demetrius marrying Helena.
What causes Helena to became angry with hermia In your opinion why does Helena refuse to believe her freand and her would be lovers?
Helena thinks Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius are mocking her. This is because Hermia loves Lysander (he loves her in return) and Demetrius hates Helena. I would know this because we just did the play today in Lit class. I was switched out to be a part and got Helena.
What is Helena's personality like in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Despite her flaws, Helena is loyal and determined, willing to go to great lengths in pursuit of love.
