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.
