He wants her to leave and threatens her | How does Demetrius react to Helena in the woods? |
Puck | “Thou speak’st aright. / I am that merry wanderer of the night. / I jest to Oberon and make him smile.” |
Oberon | “Do you amend it then. It lies in you. / Why should Titania cross her Oberon? / I do but beg a little changeling boy, / to be my henchman.” |
Titania | “But she, being mortal, of that boy did die. / And for her sake do I rear up her boy, / And for her sake I will not part with him.” |
Oberon | “Having once this juice, / I’ll watch Titania when she is asleep / And drop the liquor of it in her eyes. / The next thing then she waking looks upon-/ Be it lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, / On meddling monkey or on busy ape- / She shall pursue it with the soul of love” |
Demetrius | “Tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit. / For I am sick when I do look on thee.” |
Oberon | “When thou wakest, it is thy dear. / Wake when some vile thing is near.” |
Puck | “Through the forest have I gone. / But Athenian found I none, / On whose eyes I might approve / This flower’s force in stirring love.” |
Lysander | “And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake. / Transparent Helena! Nature shows art / That through thy bosom makes me see thy heart.” |
Helena | “Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? / When at your hands did I deserve this scorn?” |
Hermia | “Look how I do quake with fear. / Methought a serpent eat my heart away, / And you sat smiling at his cruel play.” |
