Act 1 Scene 1- Helena

In Helena's last part before scene 2 she is talking about Demetrius falling in love with Hermia. She doesn't understand why he loves her because she thinks she that she is just as pretty as Hermia. She is talking about love, and how it can be blind. I think Helena can't get over Demetrius and it's driving her nuts that he has already moved on. I don't know much about the story line, but I do know that they (Demetrius and Helena) were once engaged, but he left her after meeting Hermia. I thought this was interesting because it was her feelings on what had happened. Even thought I didn't understand everything she was saying it sounded very pretty. I don't really understand the language that they use in this play, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was used effectively.
