helena:act 2.

In Act 2, Helena demonstrates herself to be even more lovesick and desperate and needy then before. She tells Demetrius about how much she loves him all the while he`s telling her how much he dislikes her and is in love with Hermia. By telling Demetrius Hermia and Lysander`s plan to run away, she compromised her friendship with Hermia just for a chance at a desperate attempt to prove to Demetrius that he was loyal to him, but he continued to loathe her. He said awful and rude things to her when they were looking for Hermia and Lysander. She kept telling him that she loved him and that she was sick without him but he told her things like he was sick every time he saw her and he would run away from her and leave her to be eaten by wild beasts. Demetrius also told Helen that she should love someone who would love her back and not waste time in Demetrius who only has eyes for Hermia. Helena hasn`t changed since she was first mentioned in Act 1. She`s still the girl that doesn`t get paid any attention and is always living in the shadow of Hermia. She`s jealous because the man she loves, Demetrius, is in love with Hermia.
