This excerpt has been taken from A Midsummer Night's Dream, a play written by William Shakespeare in 1595. In this comedy, Lysander and Hermia are in love, but they cannot be together because Egeus, who is Hermia's father, finds her relationship with Lysander unacceptable. Instead, Egeus tells Hermia that she must marry Demetrius; however, Hermia only loves Lysander. In that way, she decides to run away with Lysander to get married in secret. In this excerpt, she is revealing this plan to Helen, one of her friends.
