I had to do a persausive letter on this here is a part of it:
I know you had your heart set on marrying Demetrius, but Lysander is more worthy. Lysander truly loves me and always will, but how do you know that Demetrius always will too? "Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena… Upon this spotted and inconstant man" (15). Demetrius was in love with Helena until he saw me. He just ran out on her, and now her heart is broken in two because of him. While it is true that Demetrius loves me, he also loved Helena and now he is treating her poorly. If I did wed him, he might run out on someone again, and then my heart would be broken. And he would treat me how he treats Helena now. Lysander would always be with me and would be kind and gentle. Unlike that warped gasty-witted flirt-gill, Demetrius!
A Midsummer Night's Dream William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream involves, amongst other things, two young couples in love. Lysander and Hermia love each other. Helena loves Demetrius but Demetrius loves Hermia. Hermia's father, Egeus, wants to force Hermia to marry Demetrius. The two couples run away to the forest where they fall asleep. Oberon, King of the fairies has fallen out with his wife, Titanya, over a servant boy and she, too has gone into the forest. Oberon has a magic potion which when poured into the eyes of someone who is asleep, will cause them to fall in love with the first person they see when they wake up. He gets Puck to pour it into Titanya's eyes and arranges for Bottom, one of the "Rude Mechanicals" to first have an asse's head, and to be the first thing that Titanya sees when she wakes up. Oberon has seen Demetrius being unkind to Helena so he tells Puck to also put the potion into Demetrius' eyes so that he will fall in love with Helena. Puck "accidentally" puts the potion into Lysander's eyes and the first person he sees when he wakes up is - Helena. Much confusion, and hilarity ensues until the potions wear off and all of the lovers end up with the "right" partner.

Who does hermia love?

Did Hermia tell Helena that she was running away with Lysander or did Helena overhear the conversation between Hermia and Lysander?

How is Hermia self centered in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Hermia has no interest in marrying Demetrius even though her father wants it and Demetrius wants it for much of the play.

But surely it doesn't make her self-centered to know what she wants and to insist on it. She is understanding and supportive of Helena's bid for Demetrius' love. She has every concern for her friend (until she suspects her of stealing Lysander away). She is much less self-centered than her friend Helena.
