Midsummer Night's Dream

So I'm not sure of what all went on in this play. It took me reading almost the entirety of the play to realize Bottom's head had been turned into a donkey's head. I thought Helena and Hermia's exchange was most interesting. Helene thought they were all playing a trick on her and that Hermia was playing along, so she starts insulting Hermia and putting her down after she had been envious of her eyes in the beginning of the play. The only character that seemed to stay true to their original convictions was Hermia. Everyone else changed preferences on who they loved and admired. Anyway, I highlighted the part that shows Hermia and Helena's argument after Helena discovers that both Lysander and Demetrius are in love with her.
