Characters: The Lovers Act 3 scene 2 Characters: The Lovers Helena OBSESSIVELY Demetrius Hermia Lysander Notice: Only the boys get flowered… What might Shakespeare be saying about love here in regard to womanly love vs manly love?

Shakespeare and the Lovers There are four lovers, and we often compare Hermia and Helena simply because of their names. But many people don’t look at our boys Remember Act 1 Scene 1? They talked about how equal they were, with the exception that Hermia loved Lysander. What does that say about a woman’s power of love?
