A Midsummer Night's Dream Act II

Act II introduces us to a fairy who serves Queen Titania and Robin or also known as puck. They discuss of their masters going to the woods that evening, and the problems that would happen. That being said not long after Oberon and Titania arrive. Jealousy strikes an argument showing yet another realisitic relationship problem. Titania has stolen a young Indian boy and Oberon demands that Titania give the boy to him. "I do but beg a little changeling boy, /To be my henchman."(II.i.105-106) Titania doesnt give him up though. Oberon wants to get back at Titania and make her fall in love with him. Demetrius finds Helena in the woods and tells her to go away even after he heres about Hermia and Lysander. Her plan fails, "I love thee not, therefore pursue me not." (II.i.173) So yet again Demetrius tells her he doesnt want to be with her, and he has no feelings for her. Oberon was hiding in the woods the whole time Demetrius and Helena were argueing, and unsure why but he decides to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena. He tells Robin Goodfellow to take some of the potion stuff and use it on Demetrius. The puck agrees, and goes off to carry out his errand. Titania calls for a quick dance in the woods with her fairies, after which they sing her to sleep. Oberon takes the opportunity to sneak up and drop the pansy juice onto her closed eyelids. Soon thereafter Lysander and Hermia, tired of walking and having lost their way, decide to go to sleep as well. They lie down, but Hermia demands that Lysander sleep a short distance away in order to keep up her sense of modesty since she is not married to him yet. The puck sees Lysander lying apart from Hermia and thinks that he was the man Oberon spoke about. The drops then go onto Lysander's eyes and the plan was done. Helena keeps following Demetrius but on the voyage she comes across Lysander sleeping. She shakes him awake, and now becomes the first person he sees making him fall in love due to the potion. "And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake./ Transparent Helena! Nature shows art/ That through thy bosom makes me see thy heart./ Where is Demetrius? Oh, how fit a word/ Is that vile name to perish on my sword!"(II.ii.77-80) The potion is like cupid with his arrows, the person shot falls in love with the person they first see. When Helena is told that Lysander loves her she doesnt think its true and takes it personally and gets angry at him. Lysander decides to forget about Hermia and follow Helena instead. Hermia wakes up to find Lysander no where, and decides to go search for him.
