Compare and contrast lysander and demetrius?
Demetrius - Is a young nobleman of Athens. In the past, Demetrius acted as if he loved Helena, but after Helena fell in love with him, he changed his mind and pursued Hermia. Emboldened by Egeus's approval of him, Demetrius is undeterred by the fact that Hermia does not want him. Lysander- Is a young nobleman of Athens in love with Hermia. Although Hermia's father refuses to let her marry Lysander, Lysander believes that love must conquer all obstacles, so he persuades Hermia to run away from her home and family with him, into the forest.
Why has egeus brought his daughter and two suitors to theseus?
Egeus is angry because Hermia refuses to obey his wishes on who she should marry. He has arranged a marriage between Demetrius and Hermia, but Hermia is not cooperating because she is in love with Lysander. It can also be argued that Egeus is angry not simply because of her disobedience, but also because she has actually fallen in love with someone else.
What is a summary of Midsummer Night's Dream?
Sparknotes, as well as many other websites, provides succinct summaries. Here's mine: Duke Theseus of Athens is going to get married in 4 days. A man (Egeus) and his daughter (Hermia) approach Theseus with the following problem: Hermia wants to marry a man (Lysander), but Egeus wants Hermia to marry a different man (Demetrius). Both Lysander and Demetrius love Hermia. Theseus commands Hermia to obey her father. She refuses, and plans to elope outside Athens' jurisdiction with Lysander. She stupidly tells this plan to her friend Helena. Helena loves Demetrius, but Demetrius wants Helena to leave him alone. Helena tells Hermia's plan to Demetrius because she thinks he will show his gratitude by marrying her. This doesn't end up working in Helena's favor, but it stops Lysander and Hermia from leaving Athens. (Sorry, my hand is hurting so I have to stop here.)

What causes Helena to became angry with hermia In your opinion why does Helena refuse to believe her freand and her would be lovers?
Helena thinks Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius are mocking her. This is because Hermia loves Lysander (he loves her in return) and Demetrius hates Helena. I would know this because we just did the play today in Lit class. I was switched out to be a part and got Helena.
