LYSANDER:My time with Hermia was very boring. It’s finished now. I love you, Helena.






HELENA: (sadly) Why are you laughing at me? I don’t want to stay here and listen to you. I’m going. (she runs off)

But Lysander really was in love with Helena now. Hermia was still asleep. Sop he left her and followed Helena into the wood.

Then Hermia woke up. She called out to Lysander, but he wasn’t there. Hermia was alone and afraid. She ran into the wood to find him.

While Hermia was looking for Lysander, she met Demetrius was very pleased to see her. But Hermia wasn’t pleased to see him.

 

 

SCENE 6

Puck went back to Oberon.

OBERON: Well? Did you put the love juice on the eyes of that unkind young man from Athens?

 

PUCK: Yes. Everything will be fine now. He’ll see the lady when he wakes up. Then he’ll fall in love with her.

 

Then Puck and Oberon heard the voices of a man and a woman. The woman’s voice was very angry.The two people were Hermia and Demetrius.

OBERON: look. Here comes the young man.

 

PUCK: The woman is the same, but the man is different. That’s very strange.

 

DEMETRIUS: Dear Hermia, why are you angry with me? I love you so much!

 

HERMIA: Where’s my Lysander? Have you killed him? Kill me too. I don’t want to live without him.

 

DEMETRIUS: I don’t know where he is.

 

HERMIA: I don’t believe you. Did you kill him while he was asleep? That’s very brave of you/ I hate you!

 

DEMETRIUS: You are wrong. I didn’t kill him.

 

But Hermia didn’t believe Demetrius. She run off into the wood. Demetrius was too tired to follow her, so he lay down on the ground. Soon he was asleep.

OBERON: What have you done? You have made a terrible mistake! You have put the juice on the eyes of the wrong man. Go through the wood, find the other young lady and bring her here immediately. I’ll put some juice on this man’s eyes. Then he will see her when he wakes up.

 

SCENE 7

Puck soon found Helena. He brought her to the place where Demetrius was sleeping. She was followed by Lysander. He was still talking about his great love for her.

HELENA: ((sadly) Why are you laughing at me? Have you forgotten Hermia?

 

LYSANDER: Hermia isn’t important to me. You are my only love, Helena.

 

The sound of their voices woke Demetrius. He had the magic juice in his eyes. When he saw Helena, he fell in love with her. Now Lysander and Demetrius loved Helena.

DEMETRIUS: Helena! You’re so beautiful. Can I kiss you, my princess? I love you more than anything in the world.

 

HELENA: ( couldn’t understand what was happening.) So now you both want to play games. Hate me if you like. But don’t love at me.

 

LYSANDER: Don’t be unkind, Demetrius. You love Hermia, not Helena. I’ll give you Hermia. I don’t love her now. I love Helena. I don’t love another woman until I die.

 

DEMETRIUS: (shouting) You can keep Hermia! I’m not interested in her now. Helena is my only love!

 

Hermia was still in the same part of the wood, and she heard the two men’s voices. She came to see what was happening. When she saw Lysander again, she was very happy.

 

HERMIA: Lysander, dear Lysander! Why did you leave me alone in the wood?

 

LYSANDER: What do you want, Hermia? Go away. I don’t love you now. I hate you. I love Helena.

 

Hermia didn’t believe him. But Helena said to her:

HELENA: I understand. The three of you – you and Lysander and Demetrius – have made a plan to hurt me. We’ve been friends for many years, Hermia, and I loved you very much. How can you do this to me? How can you be so unkind?

 

HERMIA: I don’t know what you mean. (angrily) I don’t understand. What’s happening? Why is Lysander saying: “I love Helena now”?

 

LYSANDER: (shouting) It’s true! I love you, Helena!

 

DEMETRIUS: (shouting) I love you more than him!

 

So the two men went off to another part of the wood to fight for Helena.

HELENA: (to Hermia) I’m not staying here with you. I’m going too.

 

Helena ran away and Hermia followed her.

 

 

SCENE 8

OBERON: You did all this!

 

PUCK: It was a mistake. I looked for a young man from Athens and I dropped the magic juice on his eyes. That’s what you told me to do. So I didn’t do anything wrong. But I’m glad that I made a mistake. It’s very funny!

 

OBERON: And now we’ll have to help these four young lovers. Listen to me…

The two young men are looking for a place for the fight. So fill the night with a thick black cloud. They’ll get tired and fall asleep.

I have the juice from another flower here Take it and put it on Lysander’s eyes. His old love for Hermia will return. Demetrius will still be in love with Helena. So everyone will be happy again. Everything will seem like a dream. Go and do your work!

 

SCENE 9

After Puck left, Oberon went to find Ttitania.

OBERON: I’ll take the little boy from her and after that I’ll make her free again. Then she’ll stop loving that stupid man with donkey’s head.

 

When Oberon found Titania, she was asleep. Her fairies and her servants lay near her. Oberon took the little servant boy from her.

Bottom lay near Titania with beautiful flowers round his head. He looked very stupid. Now Oberon began to feel sorry for his fairy queen. So he touched her eyes with another flower and Titania woke up.

TITANIA: My Oberon! I have had a very strange dream. I thought that I was in love with donkey.

 

OBERON: There he is and pointed to Bottom.

 

TITANIA: But how did this happen? Oh, I can’t look at his ugly face!

 

Puck came back.

OBERON: Puck, take the donkey’s head away from this man. Titania, let’s have some music. All these five people – Bottom, Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena – must fall into a deep sleep. When they wake up, they won’t remember anything.

 

TITANIA: Let’s have some music!

 

OBERON: Come and dance with me, my queen. Let’s go round the world, faster than the moon.

 

TITANIA: Yes. And you must tell me what happened. Why was I asleep near this donkey?

 

Oberon and Titania left. They were good friends again, and very happy.

Early the next morning, the Duke of Athens and Egeus, Hermia’s father, came to the wood with their friends and servants. They were looking for the four young people, and found them asleep on the ground.

When they heard the voices of the Duke and his friends, the young people woke up. They couldn’t remember anything clearly. Everything was like a strange dream.

Lysander now loved Hermia, and Demetrius now loved Helena.

The duke was very clever man. He saw that Demetrius didn’t love Hermia now. He didn’t know why. But he knew that this was a happy ending for everybody. Even Hermia’s father, Egeus, had to agree with the duke. He couldn’t order Hermia to marry Demetrius now.

Let’s all go back to Athens. There, Lysander will marry Hermia and Demetrius will marry Hermia, and Demetrius will marry Helena. I too am getting married soon. Let’s all get married and be happy!
