I had to do a persausive letter on this here is a part of it:
I know you had your heart set on marrying Demetrius, but Lysander is more worthy. Lysander truly loves me and always will, but how do you know that Demetrius always will too? "Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena… Upon this spotted and inconstant man" (15). Demetrius was in love with Helena until he saw me. He just ran out on her, and now her heart is broken in two because of him. While it is true that Demetrius loves me, he also loved Helena and now he is treating her poorly. If I did wed him, he might run out on someone again, and then my heart would be broken. And he would treat me how he treats Helena now. Lysander would always be with me and would be kind and gentle. Unlike that warped gasty-witted flirt-gill, Demetrius!
What else can I help you with?
Who does hermia love?
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.
Did Hermia tell Helena that she was running away with Lysander or did Helena overhear the conversation between Hermia and Lysander?
Hermia told her. "Take comfort. He [Demetrius] no more shall see my face. Lysander and myself shall fly this place." Lysander tells her as well. "Helen, to you our minds we will unfold."
How is Hermia self centered in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Hermia has no interest in marrying Demetrius even though her father wants it and Demetrius wants it for much of the play. She speaks her mind freely before her father and is scornful with Demetrius who she suspects of doing away with Lysander. But surely it doesn't make her self-centered to know what she wants and to insist on it. She is understanding and supportive of Helena's bid for Demetrius' love. She has every concern for her friend (until she suspects her of stealing Lysander away). She is much less self-centered than her friend Helena.

He demands that she be killed as per the law of Athens but Theseus says "I will overbear your will for in the temple by and by with us these couple shall eternally be knit" Please check the exact quote as I wrote it from memory.
