Hermia's Dilemma
Lysander, my father's decision does not favor us.
By law, he wants me to marry Demetrius.
If I do not marry him, it's either death or chastity.
Lysander, I love you. You're the only one for me.
Tonight, let's meet in the woods and leave this city.
Away from Athens, we will eventually have each other.
Besides, I know Demetrius has another lover.
Helena loves him, but he has no feelings for her.
He must have a change of heart. There has to be a way.
Let's leave this place for we can no longer stay.
Based on the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare
