There are many characters in the book that we are reading right now. One of the ones that has been mentioned a lot so far in the book is the character Helena. She has been mentioned thinking about a man named Demetrius. Helena is in love with him but the only problem is, is that he is in love with Hermia. This is a problem for Helena because now she is beginning to get filled with jealousy, and that is never a good thing. The jealousy makes her think of an evil plan to get Lysander and Hermia caught sneaking out to get married. She is only doing this because she is not getting anything that she wants. Since Hermia gets Lysander, and the man that she loves is in love with Hermia, Helena gets no one and is alone. This makes her not feel like she is a very pretty person. She ends up talking to Hermia about how she is so much in love with him and Hermia isn't, yet Demetrius can only think about Hermia. And to Helena it seems unfair that Hermia can avoid him, and not talk to him, and do all these things to make him not like her, and yet he still loves her more and more. Helena asks Hermia how she does this and wants to be able to do this herself so she too can have Demetrius in love with her, but not all things are that easy.
Helena is pretty much wrapped around Demetrius' finger because she will do anything for him. I say this because of their past. She has slept with him before, and they also made an oath to love each other, and still, Demetrius fell in love with Hermia. Even after Helena knows this she still loves Demetrius. To me this shows that she is all for him, and wants him to the point where she will do anything to get him.
