Heartbroken Hermia

Hermia is a character that lives for true love. She is so sure that herself and Demetrius are going to live happily ever after when they run away to the woods. But then King Oberon of the woods tries to help someone else out and ends up ruining their relationship. This goes to show things don't always work out to how you expect them to. She seems so defiant, like she knows exactly what the future holds and that she's in charge of herself when she denies her father and runs away with Demetrius for love.

She is probably a young women of beauty since Helena calls her such and Demetrius thinks her so to. Even Theseus wants her as a trophy wife. To fight openly and object in front of her father and to-be-fiance(according to her father) she must be a character of much inner strength, either fueled by herself or her love for Demetrius.

Hermia should be cautious of what the future holds for her and prepare herself for anything that might turn astray, thanks to the "love" nectar that Oberon uses on whom he chooses. She should act very upset when the love of her life disappears at the end of Act 2. Very distraught and heartbroken.
