Her height - Helena is tall and Hermia is very short

Her attendant, a little Indian boy

Her father, Egeus Egeus has given permission for Hermia

to marry Demetrius. However, she is in love with Lysander and does not want to follow her father’s wishes.

She can become a nun, be put to death, or obey her father.

He has “wooed” her with his sword-meaning that he has conquered her and her tribe in battle.

He mimics their voices and causes them to get lost in different parts of the woods.

Helena

Helena

They plan to perform for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta.

Bottom

He changes his head into that of a donkey.

It is Oberon’s idea.

They are Titania’s attendants who also wait on Bottom while Titania is in love with him.

They are the king and queen of the fairies.

His mother was a dear friend of hers.

The seasons are all mixed up.

One of Cupid’s arrows struck it.

Oberon and Titania

Robin Goodfellow

Bottom

Oberon tells him to put the potion in Demetrius’s eyes, but Robin puts it in Lysander’s eyes by mistake. So then Lysander is in love with Helena instead of Hermia.

They have grown up together and were best friends until this situation developed.
