Demetrius (Shakespeare)
Demetrius is one of the iconic lovers in William Shakespeare's play. A Midsummer Night's Dream. He is a young Athenian man who is engaged to a young Athenian girl Hermia. He claims to love but really just appears this way to gain Duke Theseus'and Egeus' support. However, Hermia does not love Demetrius, but instead she loves a man called Lysander. Demetrius follows Hermia and Lysander into the woods once they have fled Athens whilst Helena follows him.Helena craves Demetrius' love but he doesn't return his love and instead finds her annoying and a nuisance as she persists to win his heart. Eventually Demetrius does fall in love with Helena due to Oberon and Puck putting The love juice on his eyes. The storyline is complex and it shows the difficulties of true love through comedy.
==Role in ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''==
After Hermia has confided in Helena regarding her plans to elope with Lysander, Helena reveals the plan to Demetrius, in the hopes of procuring Demetrius's trust. However, Demetrius merely goes to the forest seeking Hermia, without giving Helena a second thought.
Helena follows Demetrius, and Oberon, the fairy king, sees them arguing. Oberon feels pity on Helena and decides to help her by putting love juice on Demetrius's eyes, thereby compelling Demetrius to return Helena's love. Oberon instructs Puck, another fairy, to pour love juice on the eyelids of the "Athenian man."
However, Puck sees Lysander sleeping, and pours the love juice in Lysander's eyes instead, thus causing Lysander to fall in love with Helena (and abandon Hermia), while Demetrius's love for Hermia continues unaltered. Later, Puck pours the love juice in Demetrius's eyes as well, with the result of both Demetrius and Lysander falling in love with Helena and despising Hermia. They fight over Helena, until Puck lulls them to sleep, and then Puck reverses the spell upon Lysander so that Lysander will love Hermia again. The spell on Demetrius, however, is not removed, and the play ends with Demetrius very much in love with Helena.
