Four young Athenians are in a romantic tangle. Lysander and Demetrius love Hermia; she loves Lysander and her friend Helena loves Demetrius. Hermia’s father, Egeus, commands Hermia to marry Demetrius, and Theseus supports the father’s right. All four young Athenians end up in the woods, where Robin Goodfellow, who serves the fairy king Oberon, puts flower juice on the eyes of Lysander, and then Demetrius, unintentionally causing both to love Helena. Oberon, who is quarreling with his wife, Titania, uses the flower juice on her eyes. She falls in love with Bottom, who now, thanks to Robin Goodfellow, wears an ass’s head.

As the lovers sleep, Robin Goodfellow restores Lysander’s love for Hermia, so that now each young woman is matched with the man she loves. Oberon disenchants Titania and removes Bottom’s ass’s head. The two young couples join the royal couple in getting married, and Bottom rejoins his friends to perform the play” (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”).

Egeus: Hermia’s father

Lysander: Inlove with Hermia

Demetrius: gentleman of the court of Athens

Helena: Inlove with Lysander

Thesus: The Duke of Athens, engaged to marry Hippolyta

Hippolyta: queen of the amazons

Oberon wants to make Titania fall in love with a beast and use her infatuation to get the Indian boy from her. Demetrius enters pursued by Helena, whom he tries to drive off. When Robin returns, Oberon, who sympathizes with Helena's love, orders him to find the Athenian man (i.e., Demetrius) and apply some of the flower's magic nectar to his eyes.

-Titania: The queen of the fairies

-Robin Goodfellow: a “puck,” or hobgoblin, in Oberon’s service

-Fairy: in the service of Titania

“Thou seest these lovers seek a place to fight.

Hie, therefore, Robin, overcast the night;

The starry welkin cover thou anon

With drooping fog as black as Acheron, And lead these testy rivals so astray As one come not within another's way.”

Now with the book finished, her problem i think is ignored, Demetrius may think he is in love with her but reality is that he is I love with her only because of Pucks love juice.

Suspicious
Even when Demetrius later declares his love, she thinks he is mocking her. She is suspicious when both men switch their affections from Hermia and say they love her. She also suspects that her friend Hermia is involved in the joke and that everyone is mocking her.

Untrustworthy
Hermia shares her secret plan to run away with Lysander with her friend Helena. Helena betrays her friend by sharing this secret with Demetrius, in the hope of gaining his affection.

Witty
Helena is a witty character and makes jokes even when she feels frustrated and unhappy.

Helena loves Demetrius, but he rejects her love and says he hates her. Despite this Helena follows him into the woods and refuses to leave him alone.

Shakespeare must have a reason to end this so abruptly, in my opinion to make puck “say sorry” by implying everything was okay, is a for of excusing himself for all the trouble he made, but the reality is that everything is not okay, the fact that Lysander ended up with the person he didn’t want (Helena) is ignoring what he wants.

 If you pardon, we will mend.

 And, as I am an honest Puck,

 If we have unearnèd luck

 Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue,

 We will make amends ere long.

 Else the Puck a liar call.

 So good night unto you all.

 Give me your hands, if we be friends,

 And Robin shall restore amends.”

Act 5, scene 2
