Why will Hermia not love me?


Why will thy fair Hermia not love me? She disobeys her father, the Athenian laws, and I. Even though her and I were betrothed to be married she insists that she loves Lysander. I am just as good a man as Lysander maybe even better, yet in the eyes of Hermia I am nothing. Hermia's father Egeus said that I shall be the one who gets to marry his daughter. Lysander is an epitome in the name of love! I have no idea what Hermia sees in him, has she no respect for the law? Helena has informed me of their plan to run off together and get married. I have decided that I will follow them and put their plan to an end. That is not the end of my worries though, Helena, the annoyance you cannot rid of intends to follow me. I believe I have made it quite clear to her that it is Hermia who I love, but still she follows me like a puppy. Every effort I make to get rid of her, every time I say I do not love her, seems to make her love me more. My brain cannot process the level of disrespect Hermia is showing for the law. A women should look at her father as if he were a god and respect his decisions. What quality do I possess that repulses Hermia enough to flee Athens in order to pursue another love. Hermia, why will you not love me?

What has come over me?


What has come over me? I no longer feel the same affection I once felt towards Hermia. In fact I find her quite repulsive. My love for Hermia has mysteriously vanished but my love for Helena has sprouted from no where like a flower! Yes, Helena, the same girl who I threatened on multiple occasions! This is insane, this is crazy, yet it feels so right! The only reason I came into this forest in the first place was to try and win over Hermia's love! But now the only thought in my mind involves Helena. I regret the things I once said to my new lover, but those were different times! Helena does not believe that I truly love her, she thinks I am playing a trick on her. I am most definitley not, I love her more than anything in the world! I understand why she might believe I am tricking her considering the way I treated her prior to these new feelings. I was wrong and I see that now. I don't know what I ever saw in that wretched Hermia. I am done competing with Lysander, Helena and I will soon be happily married.

I simply cannot believe this! Lysander, The same man who stole Hermia from me now claims that he loves my Helena. Must he always try and compete with me? As soon as I move on from Hermia and on to Helena, Lysander feels he must do the same! This man has been messing with my love life for too long and I planned to put an end to it by challenging him to a dual. He led me far out into the forest and the fled like the coward he is. He has the nerve to steal my women but does not have the guts to fight me. He could have been happily married to Hermia but he had to go and complicate things between me and Helena. I am outraged! I have always loved Helena, I just had trouble expressing my affection for her. Now Helena is accusing us of playing childish tricks on her. I know for a fact that that is not true in my case. But that does sound like something the foolish and immature Lysander would do. I never thought it was possible to love a person this much! Lysander needs to stop complicating things between my lovers and I or he'll have something else coming to him!

All is well that ends well.


This is my final post since Helena believes that I should spend more time with her now that we are married. That's right, things finally worked out between us and Theseus invited us to get married the same day as he married Hippolyita. We were treated like royalty! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think that getting married could be so enjoyable! We were treated to a very odd play before bed by Peter Quince and some other local amateur actors. It was a very unique portrayl of Pyramus and Thisby and I cannot say I was much of a fan of it. My episode in the forest feels like ages ago. We retold what we encountered but Theseus did not believe a seconed of it, which I felt was rather insulting. We know what happened was reality, not a dream. Anyways, I believe that Lysander finally learned his lesson and will no longer try to steal my women away from me. This past week of my life has been surreal! I would never have believed that seven days prior to now that I would be married to the beautiful Helena. Helena is calling me now, sorry I have to go, Thank You to all my frequent readers and I bid you farewell!
