Hermia from A Midsummer Nights Dream :: A Midsummer Nights Dream, William Shakespeare

When we first meet Hermia in the play called A Midsummer Nights Dream, written by William Shakespeare, she is a young lady in love against her fathers wishes. From the very start of the play we can see how much enamored she is with Lysander. We can also see that Hermia is a woman with her avow desires, and does not liked to be forced to do things that she does not want. She does not want to marry the man that her father betrothed to her, even though it could hatch her demise. Her choices of living in a nunnery and live the life of chastity was not an option for Hermia. She loved Lysander and all she wanted was to be with him.Hermia is the daughter of Egeus. She is a precise woman that possessed sparkling eyes and a lovely voice. Hermia is very adamant about what she wants from the balance of the play. She has only eyes for Lysander and is very faithful, even when confront with the obstacles of death or the nunnery. Throughout the play Hermia emotions were confus ed at times. She even says Am I not Hermia? Are you not Lysander? (Act III Scene 2 Line 292). We see at this point that she is confused and her feelings are hurt. At that very moment I think she feels like she has lost part of herself, a part that she has given to Lysander. So when Lysander returns to her, she is her self once again. Presented with many obstacles and complications to overcome, we know that Hermia is the protagonist in the play. She has relations with al well-nigh all the characters in the play. The first and most important kin is her love, Lysander. From the very beginning we see that Hermia loves Lysander with all her heart and soul and he loved her the same. The only tragic flaw in their relationship was when puck put the magic juice in Lysanders eyes and he fell in love with Helena. Hermia felt sad and rejected when that happened. But when Puck finally realized that he had made a mistake and corrected it, Hermia and Lysander were in their heavenly bli ss of love once again.
