Second Character Analysis

In the act 2 scene 2 Helena is still apparently in love with Demetrius. She takes so much verbal abuse from him its not even funny. He is saying things to her that if they were said to any other person, it would make their feelings hurt, and not like that person anymore. But somehow Helena is able to just see right through everything Demetrius is saying because she loves him so much. I think thats going to become a problem with her further down into the story because shes basically setting herself up to be used by him to get what he wants and then for her to get hurt. The reason Helena might also be letting this kind of treatment go on is because of her lack of confidence in herself. She has no self respect and lets herself be treated how others want to treat her. She doesn't stand up for herself when Demetrius says those mean things to her. I hope she is going to be able to start a change in herself before something really bad happens that she regrets.
