Theseus does not allow Hermia to marry Lysander initially because he supports her father's authority, who wants her to marry Demetrius. In Athens, parental authority and societal expectations carry significant weight in matters of marriage, leading Theseus to uphold this tradition.

How Does Theseus current decision regarding hermia and Lysander contradicts earlier state?

Theseus's decision to allow Hermia to marry Lysander at the end of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" contradicts his earlier order for Hermia to marry Demetrius or face consequences. This change in decision shows a shift towards mercy and understanding, reflecting a softer and more compassionate side to his character.


In act 1 the reader learns that Hermia's father refuses to allow her to marry Lysandor What do Hermia and Lysander to do to counteract his refusal?

Hermia and Lysander plan to elope to his aunt's house outside of Athens, where they can marry without her father's permission. They devise a plan to meet in the woods the following night and escape together.


What do Hermia and Lysander plan to do to counteract Hermia's father's refusal to allow them to marry in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

They plan to run awayabove question gives a correct answer, but I just want to give a complete answer, just in case.A. Run away to be marriedthey run away into the forest at night to see each other. then Helena over hears them and tells Demetrius to try to ruin their plans. then puck comes along and ruins everythingThe penalties for disobeying her father could include being shipped to a convent, or even death. Lysander and Hermia plan to sneak away to be married at the home of Lysander's aunt. (It is in the woods that the fairies become involved.)They decide to elope.They flee to the woods. Their spurned lovers follow them. Comic complications ensue.


Why does theseus allow lysander to marry hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Basically because Demetrius no longer wants to marry her. It is one thing to marry an unwilling bride to a willing bridegroom, but to order a wedding when the only person in favour of it is the father of the bride is ridiculous. Everyone sees this except Egeus.


What is the plot analysis for Midsummer night's dream?

You cannot understand this play unless you take apart the separate strands of the plot:Theseus and Hippolyta are to be married at the new moon, which is coming soon.Hermia wants to marry Lysander but her father Egeus and Demetrius want her to marry Demetrius.Helena wants to marry Demetrius but he has brushed her off.Peter Quince, Nick Bottom and other artisans of the town wish to write and perform a play.Oberon, King of the Fairies, has a dispute with his wife Titania over who will raise a certain boy.Theseus is the ruler of the town but Oberon is the ruler of the forest. Egeus appeals to Theseus to enforce his wedding plans for Hermia, whereupon Hermia and Lysander, followed by Demetrius and Helena, leave the town and enter the forest. Likewise Quince et al decide to rehearse their play in the forest. Here the fairies take charge and although their intervention interrupts the rehearsal and makes the love problems even worse by having Lysander fall in love with Helena, eventually three of the plotlines get resolved by the end of Act IV: Lysander's love for Hermia is restored and Demetrius no longer loves her, enabling Theseus to approve the marriage of Hermia and Lysander.Demetrius now loves Helena instead of Hermia, so they can be married.Titania, distracted by her drug-induced love for Bottom, agrees to allow Oberon to raise the boy.In Act V the last two plotlines are resolved: It being the new moon, Theseus and Hippolyta are married.Quince et al perform their play at the wedding reception. It is hilariously bad, but Theseus commends their honest effort, and they go home happy.
