The first time we get a sense of this imbalance when we see the strange love among the four young Athenians: Hermia loves Lysander‚ Lysander loves Hermia‚ Helena loves Demetrius‚ and Demetrius loves Hermia instead of Helena.

It’s hard to comprehend that they were “in love” when they barely knew each other. They kissed twice‚ without even knowing the names of who they were kissing.

I saw myself shivering and getting a white flaky color. I didn’t know what was happening at all‚ and at that same moment I realized what my friend had told me about how I would turn into a solid form. At last I landed on the earth‚ in the dark green foliage of the rainforest. Around me as far as I could see‚ were tall trees‚ dense green leaves‚ red mushrooms and variously colored insects of every shape and size. Strange creatures surrounded me.
