Hermia And Lysander Relationship
Hermia: I frown at him, yet he still loves me.
Helena: Oh if only my smiles could show love as much as your frowns!
Hermia: I curse him. Yet he give me love.
Helena: Oh if only my prayers could show that kind of affection!
Hermia:The more I hate him, the more he follow me
Helena:The more I love, the more he hates me
Hermia: It is not my fault he acts like that, Helena.
Helena:It is your beauty’s fault. I wish I have a fault like that!
Hermia: Don’t worry. He will no longer see my face. Lysander and I are running away from here. Before I saw Lysander, Athens seemed like paradise to me. Lysander is so attractive that he has turned heaven into hell!
Lysander: Helena, we will tell you our plan. Tomorrow night when the moon shines on the water

    “Your behavior baffles me. You do not understand what you are saying. I am not speaking intentionally. 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.…

    As Odysseus’ friend Agamemnon told him, that Penelope is “’much too steady, her feelings run too deep...that wise woman”’(263 - 64).

Every night with the suitors ends as Penelope “fell to weeping for Odysseus...till watchful Athena sealed her eyes with welcome sleep”(435).

    Piety In The Odyssey

    Helen attempts to seduce Hektor in order to keep him out of battle, however he unwaveringly turns her down: “Do not, Helen,/ make me sit with you, though you love me. You will not persuade me./…I am going first to my own house, so I can visit/…my own people, my beloved wife”. (Iliad Book Six lines 359-366) Hektor, rather than even considering adultery, leaves quickly in order to speak with his own wife before he leaves again for battle. The charm that Helen has over Menelaos and Paris holds no sway over Hektor, who is faithful to Adromanche and his own people. The attempts to seduce Penelope are far more persistent and by many men. As Odysseus is held up on his voyage home, he is presumed dead and therefore Penelope a widow. As a widow she is expected to remarry. Yet in spite of the social pressure to remarry, she keeps hope that Odysseus is still alive and remains faithful to him by any means possible. For instance, in order to stall the marriage, Penelope tells the suitors that she will marry after completing a burial shroud for Laertes, Odysseus’ father, but every night unravels the work that she had done that day. This shows her hope that Odysseus is still alive, as Laertes is a metaphor for Odysseus and her refusal to believe him dead. Penelope is also always modest when dealing with the suitors, as a married woman…

    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.…

    Lysander can see the unfair treatment that Demetrius is giving to Hermia and points it out.“O I'am out of breath in this fond chase. The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace, Happy is Hermia, wheresoe'er she lies, for she hath blessed attractive eyes so bright not with salt tears if so my eyes are oftener wash'd than hers” (II,ii,…
