Question

Who comes to Theseus to air a grievance? What does this person want Theseus to do? Why does Hermia disobey her father? What do Lysander and Hermia say to plead their case? Do their pleas work?​

Answer 1

Egeus comes to ask Theseus to make his daughter Hermia, marry Demetrius even though she wants to marry Lysander. She wants to marry Lysander. Lysander and Hermia say that both Lysander and Demetrius have money and they have the same title, but Lysander also has Hermia's love, not to mention Demetrius made Hermia's best friend fall in love with him then dumped her. Their pleas do not convince Theseus as he takes Hermia's father's side and gives Hermia three options either to marry Demetrius, become a nun, or to be put to death.
