"A sweet Athenian lady is in love with a disdainful youth . . . thou shalt know the man by the Athenian garments he hath on." Small wonder Puck made a mistake.
Demetrius.
Oberon realizes that Puck has put the love potion in Lysander's eyes instead of Demetrius
Oberon actually sent Puck ( aka Robin Goodfellow) to find a flower that could make anything or anyone fall in love with anything else. The rumour that Puck left his home beacuse Oberon was forcing him to marry Moth and Puck didn't want to is all a pack of lies.
Oberon instructs Puck to create a fog so the young men will not be able to see each other. Then Puck (who is also called Robin Goodfellow) is to imitate the voices of Lysander and Demetrius to lure them away from each other. We see that Puck is successful and the duel is avoided.
Oberon only described Demetrius as "an Athenian youth". Lysander is also one of those. Also, Oberon told Puck that Demetrius was treating a certain young lady with disdain, and there was Lysander, sleeping apart from Hermia instead of cuddled up as they should have been if they were really lovers. Puck is really annoyed when he gets blamed for the mistake; he tells Oberon "Did you not tell me that I should know the man by the Athenian garments he had on?"
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.
Puck put the potion into the eyes of Demetrius while he was under the influence of Oberon's commands in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. This caused Demetrius to fall in love with Helena instead of Hermia.
Not exactly. His plan for Titania worked but his plan to get Demetrius to fall for Helena didn't, thanks to Puck's error.
Demetrius.
Oberon decides to help Helena because he sees her heartbroken over Demetrius, who is in love with Hermia. Oberon wants to help restore harmony and balance in their relationships so that they can all be happy. Additionally, Oberon wants to correct the chaos caused by Puck's mistake with the love potion.
Oberon realizes that Puck has put the love potion in Lysander's eyes instead of Demetrius
Oberon told Puck to pour some of the juice on the eyes of Demetrius, that he might love Helena. Puck put it in the eyes of Lysander by mistake. Oberon said to find a guy with Athenian clothing and didn't know there were two of them in the forest so Puck seen Lysander (who wears Athenian clothing) and put it in his eyes.
Oberon told him to. Oberon wanted Puck to anoint Demetrius, but Puck made a mistake and juiced Lysander instead. As he says, "Believe me, King of Shadows, I mistook. Did you not tell me I should know the man by the Athenian garments he had on?"
Hermia and Lysander exchange lines in Act 1 of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." They discuss their love for each other and the obstacles they face, ultimately planning to flee Athens to be together. The order of their dialogue involves Hermia expressing her love for Lysander, followed by Lysander reassuring her of his devotion.

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the young lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius meet in the forest. They become entangled in a mix-up influenced by the fairy king Oberon and his mischievous servant Puck.
Oberon instructs Puck to create a fog so the young men will not be able to see each other. Then Puck (who is also called Robin Goodfellow) is to imitate the voices of Lysander and Demetrius to lure them away from each other. We see that Puck is successful and the duel is avoided.
