Lysander and Hermia cooked up a plan to run away and get married the only fault to their plan is they told helena about it. She then proceeded to tell demetrius about their plan. She thought that telling him about their plan that he would start to have feelings for her.but she was wrong when she thought this, demetrius just got more annoyed with her when she was following him. While helena and demetrius are talking, “The more you beat me, I will fawn on you” (Shakspeare 189). Before she said this to him Helena was comparing herself to a dog.
