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.

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.
