Step-by-step explanation:

Msnd Lysander:

Msnd Lysander is a regular guy. He tries to convince Egeus to allow him to marry Hermia. He even points out that Demetrius is not to be trusted, as he had won the heart of another woman, Hermia's friend Helena, and then dumped her.

Hermia:

Hermia is one of the strongest female characters in the play. She passionately rejects male authority figures in order to make a powerful claim for her own “sovereignty” in the realm of love. Theseus outlines harsh consequences if Hermia persists in disobeying her father's authority.
