In the lovers' quarrel, Lysander's feelings towards Helena change drastically as he becomes magically enamored with her instead of Hermia. This sudden change is due to Puck's mischievous intervention with the love potion, causing Lysander to abandon his affection for Hermia and direct it towards Helena.
Helena tells Demetrius about Hermia and Lysander's plan to elope because she hopes that by revealing this information, Demetrius will love her instead of Hermia. Helena is desperate for Demetrius's affection and believes that her loyalty to him will make him realize her feelings for him.
Firstly, Lysander was deeply in love with Hermia, but when Puck (the fairy) put the love potion on Lysanders eyes, he fell in love with Helena- betraying Hermia. He was protective over her, because demetrius loved her also.
I felt sad because Helena would try to destroy Hermia's and Lysander's plan
In A Midsummer's Night Dream, Helena believes that Lysander's love for her and Hermia's lack of understanding is a ruse or prank. Seeing that Lysander's love for Hermia was a strong love previous to the nectar applied by Robin, it seems implausible that he would fall in love for her so strongly. In addition, Hermia's complete confusion of what is happening promotes the thought that Lysander's love of Hermia is false for if Lysander truly loved Helena, wouldn't Hermia have known?
In Act 3 of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Helena finds herself in a love triangle with Demetrius and Lysander. Both men are under the influence of a love potion and are now in love with Helena instead of Hermia. This complicates Helena's feelings as she struggles to understand their sudden change of heart.
Demetrius attempted to stop Helena by expressing his disdain for her persistent pursuit, as he was initially in love with Hermia and rejected Helena's affections. He often dismissed Helena's advances and tried to escape her presence, displaying frustration at her unwavering devotion. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," his behavior was driven by his infatuation with Hermia, which made him less considerate of Helena's feelings. Ultimately, Demetrius's attitude changed after being affected by the magical intervention of the love potion.
Well it changes a lot from being romantic in love with Lysander then being horrible to Helena.
Oberon sees Demetrius acting in an abusive manner towards Helena. In order to help Helena out, since he feels sorry for her, Oberon gets Puck to put the love-in-idleness juice on Demetrius's eyes.
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.
