Egeus' speech in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" conveys his desire for his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, despite her love for Lysander. He appeals to Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to uphold the law that gives him control over Hermia's marriage. Egeus believes Hermia should obey his wishes or face consequences.
Egeus accuses Lysander of using his cunning words and false vows to win Hermia's affections, believing that he has charmed her into loving him against her father's wishes.
Egeus was angry with his daughter Hermia because she refused to marry the man he had chosen for her, Demetrius, and instead wanted to marry Lysander. This went against Athenian law, and Egeus felt that Hermia was disobeying him and causing shame to their family.
