Demetrius and Lysander fall in love with Helena


What is walthall's point of view about Demetrius saying '' cannot love'' Helena and is'' sick''?

that he can be sure of loving Helena


How does Demetrius explain the return of his love for Helena?

Part of the meaning of Midsummer Night's Dream is that love is irrational. We know that Demetrius falls in love with Helena because of a magical love-juice but there is no rational coherent reason why Helena should love him either. She just does.


What causes Helena to become angry with Hermia and why does Helena refuse to believe her friend and her would - be lovers?

Helena is Miss Low-Self-Esteem. According to her, she is as ugly as a bear and deserves to be treated by Demetrius in the same way he treats his spaniel. So when Lysander and Demetrius come along professing their love for her, she thinks they must be making fun of her because she is so much less attractive than Hermia. Then along comes Hermia, who is bewildered by Lysander's change of behaviour. Helena does not see this for what it is. She assumes that Hermia must immediately see that Helena is being made fun of, and if she is a good friend she would take Helena's side. Since she doesn't take Helena's side, Helena immediately comes to the conclusion that Hermia is part of this imaginary plot against her, and she gives Hermia a long lecture about being a better friend. Hermia expresses her incredulity: "I am amazed at your passionate words. I scorn you not; it seems that you scorn me." As crazy as Helena's logic seems to be, it is just the kind of reasoning you find in people who are convinced of their own worthlessness.


Why is Hermia afraid of Helena?

She isn't afraid of her but she is jealous of her.
