She loves Lysander and wants to elope with him. Hermia has a good friend, Helena. Before Demetrius fell in love with hermia, he loved Helena and she replied his love. Seeing hermia let melt his love to her, but Helena still loves him and idolices him. He is rude to her and says that he hates her. At the end of the book he marries Helena though, because of the magical power of the love flower that oberon, the king of the ferrie sand puck a farry put on his eyelids. Demetrius is blind by that magic and has to fell in love with the first peron he sees after waking up.. Witch is Helena and so they get together and marry.

What us a midsummers night dream by shakespeare about?

The main story line is that two couples have run away into the woods outside Athens. Lysander and Hermia love each other, and are attempting to elope together. Demetrius also loves Hermia, and is following them. Helena loves Demetrius, and is following him. The King of the Fairies, Oberon, tells his assistant Puck to rub a love potion onto Demetrius' eyes - so that Demetrius will fall in love with Helena (and there will be two couples). Puck rubs the potion on Lysander's eyes by mistake, but then realises and rubs some on Demetrius' too. So now Lysander and Demetrius both love Helena, but nobody loves Hermia. Same situation as at the start of the story, only sdrawckab.
