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.
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.
