Lysander and Demetrius are characters in William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Lysander is portrayed as a rational and romantic lover who is deeply in love with Hermia. Demetrius, on the other hand, initially pursues Hermia but later falls in love with Helena due to the effects of a love potion. Lysander's love for Hermia is genuine and based on mutual affection, while Demetrius' feelings for Helena are manipulated and initially one-sided.
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.)
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.
In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Egeus comes to court complaining that his daughter Hermia is resisting his command for her to marry Demetrius, and is carrying on with Lysander instead. He asks the Duke, who is acting as judge, whether the law can force her to marry Demetrius. Duke Theseus says yes, she can be forced, and if she refuses she can be put to death unless she chooses to become a nun.
Cicero is the senator whom Brutus refuses to ask to join the conspiracy.
Hermia and Lysander plan to elope to his aunt's house outside of Athens, where they can marry without her father's permission. They devise a plan to meet in the woods the following night and escape together.
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.

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.
