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.
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.

Hermia loves Lysander. Lysander and Demetrius both love Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius.
Lysander is in love with Hermia at the beginning of the play but cannot marry her because her father will not consent. Demetrius is also sort of in love with her but cannot marry her because she refuses to marry him.
Hermia thinks that Demetrius has killed Lysander because she finds Lysander's blood-stained handkerchief near Demetrius, and believes it to be evidence of his guilt. Demetrius swears he did not harm Lysander, and Hermia eventually discovers that Puck's mischief is responsible for the confusion.
