What are some similarities and differences between Hermia and Helena in A midsummer night's dream?

Helena - A Midsummer Night's Dream - was created in 1596.

Helena marries Demetrius (Egeus can't be happy)

Like all the characters, Helena lives in Athens.

Helena in Midsummer Night's Dream loves Demetrius, but Helena in All's Well that Ends Well loves Bertram.

she betrays her friends

What play? Are you talking about the Midsummer Night's Dream?

when lysander falls in love with helena

Helena is a foil for Hermia. not only are they contrasting in physical appearance, Helena being much taller, etc; Hermia is heavily sought after while Helena is desperate to be loved.

At the beginning they are: Lysander and Hermia Hippolyta and Theseus A one sided love between Helena and Demetrius. (On Helena's part) At the end they are: Lysander and Hermia Hippolyta and Theseus Helena and Demetrius

Demetruis > Hermia Hermia >< Lysander Helena > Demetruis After the spell is set cast: Hermia > Lysander Lysander > Helena Helena > Demetruis From weirdo Somebody

hermia and lysander Helena and Demetrius

Helena is jealous. She lacks self confidence and is lovesick. She can also be quite a humorous person at times.

The love juice in a midsummer nights dream makes LYSANDER fall in love with HELENA but at the same time it makes DEMETRIUS fall in love with HELENA as well. When before both men loved hermia and no one cared for helena. :) i hope this helps u!

desperate, low self esteem, unconfident

Theseus and Hippolyta,Demetrius and Helena And Lysander and Hermia! :)

They are called Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena.

No-Hermia falls in love with Lysander whereas Helena falls in love with Demetrius (who is meant to be Hermias husband to be!)

Hermia and Lysander let Helena into the secret that they are planning to elope. Helena reveals this secret to Demetrius, hoping that he will be grateful to her. (He isn't)

Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her best friend is Helena. Hermia tells Helena that she plans to elope with Lysander, but Helena passes the message on to Demetrius. Not a very good best friend, then.

Hermia and Helena are the women; Lysander and Demetrius are the men. Lysander and Hermia are a couple at the beginning; by the end Demetrius and Helena are also a couple.

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.

Helena is Hermia's bestfriend. They knew each other since school. Helena loves Demetrius but he doesn't. Demetrius and Lysander both love Hermia, but in the end, like a happy ever after ending, Demetrius loves Helena and Lysander loves Hermia.

He appears to be sorry for her because Demetrius mistreats her.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is not a book--it's a play. It is meant to be watched, not read. I recommend that you get hold of a copy of the film of the play and watch it so you can really find out who Helena is. For now, I will tell you that she is a girl whose ex-boyfriend is trying to marry her best friend.

Helena - keep a disorientated voice. And if you are stumbling around at some point make sure your whole body moves to it's own accord. I went to see a midsummer nights dream and it was very good. Helena had a deep stumbling voice. Demitrus - when you are not in love with helena keep a snotty exterior around her. I love acting! From Bea age 11
