Summary of Act 3, Scene 2

The scene starts off with Puck telling Oberon what he has done to Bottom and Oberon being delighted to hear the news that his plan is working. When Lysander goes missing from Hermia [because he has fallen in love with Helena], she goes to Demetrius and accuses him of killing Lysander. Demetrius has no clue where Lysander is but makes side comments that if he were dead it would be nice. Hermia gets extremely angry and marches off to find Lysander. Oberon tells Puck he has made a mistake and to go find Helena. As Puck is getting Helena, Oberon squeezes the flower juice onto Demetrius' eyes. When he wakes up he sees Helena with Lysander close behind telling her how much he loves her. Now both men are in love with Helena. Hermia comes back into the scene and finds all three of them, and both men telling Helena that they love her. Helena then accuses Hermia of being in on this joke to humiliate her. Then Lysander and Demetrius want to fight for Helena's love. Hermia grabs Lysander’s arm but Lysander yells at her to get off. Then Hermia believes Helena has stolen Lysander from her and they get into a big verbal fight. However, Hermia wants to take it to the next level and starts to attack Helena. Of course both men prevent this and Hermia goes ballistic. Remembering that the other man loves Helena, both Lysander and Demetrius go into the woods to fight. Helena then runs away from Hermia even though she is shorter.
