Egeus accuses Lysander of using his cunning words and false vows to win Hermia's affections, believing that he has charmed her into loving him against her father's wishes.
Egeus accuses Lysander of seducing his daughter, Hermia, and corrupting her with false promises of love. He believes Lysander has won her affections through deceit, leading Hermia to defy her father's wishes to marry Demetrius, the man Egeus has chosen for her. Egeus demands that Hermia obey him and marry Demetrius, threatening her with severe consequences if she does not comply.
Lysander, who becomes Hermia's husband and Egeus's son-in-law (much against his will).
Hermia's father, Egeus, has chosen Demetrius to marry his daughter. However, Hermia is in love with Lysander and wishes to marry him instead. Egeus insists on his choice, leading to conflict and a series of events in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This tension sets the stage for the play's exploration of love and choice.
Egeus prefers Demetrius over Lysander because in his opinion, Demetrius has done nothing but love Hermia, but Lysander has made her stubborn and disobedient.
In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Egeus wants his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius. Hermia wants to marry Lysander.
Hermia is the daughter of Egeus in the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius, but she is in love with Lysander. This conflict drives much of the plot in the play.
No-Hermia falls in love with Lysander whereas Helena falls in love with Demetrius (who is meant to be Hermias husband to be!)
i think it was hermia's dad, egeus
It is not clear from the text whether Egeus harbours a grudge against Hermia and Lysander. It's certainly played that way in the 1999 film. And it makes sense.
Egeus is Hermia's father in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Their relationship is strained because Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius, while Hermia is in love with Lysander. This conflict drives much of the plot of the play.
Egeus was angry with his daughter Hermia because she refused to marry the man he had chosen for her, Demetrius, and instead wanted to marry Lysander. This went against Athenian law, and Egeus felt that Hermia was disobeying him and causing shame to their family.
Lysander says in act 1 scene 1 that Demetrius was being rude and ignorant by isolating Helena, so he thinks that Demetrius would do the same to Hermia. He tried explaining this to Egeus but Egeus did not take Lysanders word for it.
