In the midst of her confusion Lysander begins acting aggressively towards Hermia. During this aggression Lysander announces to Hermia “Ay, by my life; and never did desire to see thee more.

If this man who claims to be Odysseus is who he makes himself out to be, then no words should be needed to bring us together. There should be an instant connection between us. There is something Odysseus knows that no one else has the privilege of knowing; it’s our little secret,” said Penelope, without moving her eyes off Odysseus. My heart sank. I thought after twenty years, Penelope had grown to trust me with even her most personal secrets. I thought I acted as her cornerstone. I learned that I was wrong.…

    How Shakespeare Presents Helena

    How Shakespeare Presents Helena

    At the beginning of the play Helena is heartbroken and extremely upset due to Demetrius’s hate towards her. We know this as she says “Call you me fair? That fair again unsay. / Demetrius loves your fair: O happy fair!” When she questions her own beauty using a rhetorical question it shows that she is baffled at why Demetrius had left her. When she uses the word fair over and over again it tells us that she had been obsessing over Hermia’s beauty. Her obsession with Hermia’s beauty is shown once again as later on in the passage as she says ‘Sickness is catching. O, were favour so, /yours would I catch fair Hermia, ere I go; /My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye.’ In this metaphor she wishes that she could simply catch Hermia’s beauty like a sickness. Helena is clearly longing for something to make her like Hermia in hope that Demetrius would see some of Hermia in her. She is also jealous of Hermia’s beauty. It also shows us that she is insecure about her own appearance. The audience would’ve felt sorry towards her at this point as she is clearly devastated about Demetrius.…
