A Midsummer Night Dream Character Analysis

Shakespere's A Midsummer Night Dream is full of many interesting and different characters. One of the most interesting is Helena. She is in a very tough predicament, she is madly in love with a man (Demetrius) who is about to marry another woman (Hermia). However, Hermia does not love Demetrius, but Demetrius loves Hermia. The only reason they plan to get married is because Hermia's father wants Hermia to marry him. If that's not crazy enough, we find out that while Demetrius was trying to get Hermia to fall in love with him, he slept with Helena. Basically, this is a very messed up love square.
Helena, unfortuneately, is in the worst position because nobody loves her. However, she is not only in love with Demetrius, she is obsessed. She chases after Demetrius in parts of the story to try to convince him to marry her. She also goes up to hermia to tell her how jealous she is of her and that she wishes she could be as fair or as beautiful as her. Hermia tries to be nice and says that she's not trying to take her man, but that no matter how much she pushes him away, the more he seems to want her. This causes Helena to become even more jealous and asks her to teach her how to do what she does. She is so madly in love that she doesn't realize she has no chance at all even though she knows Demetrius hates her. She is obsessed over a man and is in denial that nothing will ever happen between them.
In this book we find out that Helena is as pretty, if not more than Hermia. However, she does not view it this way. She sees herself as much uglier than Hermia which gives her an excuse as to why Demetrius doesn't like her. She cound not stand the fact that she is just as beautiful as hermia, yet Demetrius chose Hermia. Because of this, I think that her character would be very pretty but she would try to dress down so that she does not look as beautiful as Hermia. She would not put on make up or wear nice clothes in order to not look as good as hermia. This makes her feel better about herself because it makes her feel like it was a superficial reason that made Demetrius choose hermia over her instead of a personal reason. She would also not have much self-confidence because she has to go around begging to people to help her get what she want. She can't do anything on her own. Her character would be very needy.
She would also act very similarly as to how she looks. She doesn't want to look pretty so she'll act like other people are prettier than her and say that she isn't beautiful at all. She would act as though nothing ever goes her way in order to get sympathy from other people. She would complain how this one thing ruined her life in order to get people to feel sorry for her. This relates to her neediness because she wants to feel love, but the closest thing she can get is sympathy. She would focus too much on having other people give her what she wants instead of going out there and getting it for herself.
