The character Egeus, marches into Theseus’s court with his daughter, Hermia, and two young men, Demetrius and Lysander. Demetrius is in love with Hermia, and also in love with Helena. And Lysander, a childhood friend of Helena, is in love with Hermia. Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius but Hermia is in love with Lysander and refuses to cooperate with her father’s decision.
