Demetrius hates Helena in the beginning of the play but ends up loving her in the end because of the love potion. In this play‚ Puck states‚ "Lord‚ what fools these mortals be." This even states how people in love are fools and don’t know what they’re doing. The theme of people being fickle is also portrayed in Twelfth Night with the whole concept of Orisino only being in love with

‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ offers a new set of incongruous conjunctions reflecting - as in a distorting mirror - aspects of the earlier discords. In this play the apparently anarchic tendencies of the young lovers‚ of the mechanicals-as-actors‚ and of Puck are restrained by the "sharp Athenian law" and the law of the Palace Wood‚ by Theseus‚ Oberon‚ and their respective consorts.

In a blind rage Oberon sends his follower Puck to acquire a love potion to cause the Queen to fall in love with a donkey looking Bottom‚ and to cause Demetrius to fall in love with Helena. Lacking knowledge of who the targeted Athenian is to be‚ Puck uses the potion on Lysander‚ leaving him with a shift in emotions directed towards Helena.
