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?
