 A Midsummer Night's Dream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the beginning, provoked by Hermia's refusal to marry Demetrius, Egeus, her father, invokes an ancient Athenian law whereby a daughter must marry the suitor chosen her father, or else face death or lifelong chastity as a maid of Artemis.
Hermia tells of the plan to her best friend Helena, who, having been recently rejected by Demetrius, decides to win back Demetrius's favor by revealing the plan to him.
The situation develops a comical twist typical in Shakespear plays when Hermia's two lovers temporarily turn against her in favor of Helena because of Puck's misapplied magical enchantment.
