The Day Has Come

Things are right once again. My Lysander is mine. I am so happy! He is no longer speaking foolishness to Helena. All of his love words are towards me and me alone. I do not know what happen in the enchanted forest, I just know that it truly tested my love for Lysander and my friendship with Helena.

To think I was so angry with Helena. Poor thing. She really did not deserve my hostility. She was as confused as I was. It does not matter anymore. I have Lysander and she has Demetrius. Yes, that is correct. Demetrius has finally seen the light and has realized that I am not the right bride for him. He no longer loves me. Demetrius has decided that he can not live without Helena. Oh what a joyful day! Helena is so happy to have her love returned by the one man that she so desperately loves.

With my father's blessing, I am now free to marry Lysander. I cannot wait. I am finally going to be Lysander's bride. The best news is Helena and I will marry our love one's together along with Theseus, the Duke of Athens and Hippolya, the Queen of Amazons. What a grand celebration it will be.

Jealousy

I am so upset. Not only is my Lysander confessing his love to Helena but so is Demetrius. Only a day ago, were the two men saying the same words to me as they are saying to her. I am so con fussed. How can this be?

I am happy that Demetrius is now in love with Helena. This would normally make my life so much happier. But Lysander? Why is he still saying the love words to her? Does he not know how this hurts me?

I could not stand it any longer and my temper got the best of me. I confronted Helena about her love stealing ways. I needed to know why she decided to take my Lysander away from me. Was it revenge over Demetrius? She knows that I do not share the same feeling towards him as he does towards me. I thought we were close like sisters. Proper sisters would never hurt one another like this.

Poor Helena. She is not taking anything that Demetrius and Lysander are saying seriously. She truly believes that they are playing a nasty joke on her. She in return, is really upset. I, though, believe they are speaking correct from the heart. Why is this happening?

Love is Blind

I can't believe my ture love, Lysander, is no longer in love with me. How can it be? I was willing to chance being force to become a nun or worst, being sentenced to death for our love. Why does he not love me anymore and why does he love Helena? I am heart broken.

When I awoke in the morning, Lysander was no longer beside me. Where did he go? I can only assume that he had second thoughts about marrying me. But why? What did I do that was so wrong that he decided to leave me?

When I searched for Lysander, I came across him and Helena. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My Lysander was confessing his love to her. Helena! I was stunned and totally confused. Did my Lysander love Helena all along? Fortunately, Helena did not take him serious. She thought he was being cruel and told him to "Go back to loving Hermia"!

If only Demetrius said the words to her that my Lysander did, things would be so much better. But no, my true love did and now my heart is broken. Why Lysander, why? Will things ever be the same again? I thought we were happy together.

My True Love

Why, why must I marry Demetrius? Is it not my own right to choose whom I marry?

My name is Hermia and my true love is Lysander. Oh, how I love him. My father, Egeus, insisted that I marry Demetrius. He says "He's the right boy for me", "He's perfect". But I do not agree. I believe that Lysander is the right man for me. I know that he is!

Lysander and I plan to run away and be married at his aunt's house. We plan to meet in the enchanted forest later this evening. It will be perfect. We have told no one but with the exception of my good friend Helena. She and I have been close friends since we were very young children. I know that she only wants me to be happy. Oh, how I wish Helena will find true love like me one day.

I know that Helena is in love with Demetrius. She is constanly annoying him by saying "I love thee". Demetrius, unfortunaley does not feel the same towards her. If only he did. It would uncomplicate my situation. I tell Demetrius over and over again that I do not love him and that I love only Lysander but he does not care. He says that he loves me and wants to marry me.

Demetrius has caused me so much pain. Not only is he keeping me apart from my one true love but also the hurt that is has caused in my friendship with Helena. How it must sting to have her ture love want to marry her best friend. It was never my intention to cause her such grief.

I hope that my father will forgive me for not following his demand. I know that in my heart that I am right and that I must marry Lysander. Please forgive me father.
