This is the act that started all the drama of the love triangle. It all began when we were introduced to Puck who is the henchmen of Oberon, the fairy king. Oberon and Titania, the fairy queen, had a huge fight on who would get the young boy that was given to Titania by her friend. When the battle died down Oberon decided to place a spell on Titania which would make her fall in love with the next creature she put her eyes on. As Puck went to retrieve this liquid, Helena and Demetrius show up in the forest pacing quickly. Demitrius was furious at Helena for following him and giving him wrong directions to Hermia so he ended up leaving her alone in the forest. Puck returned with the love potion and was given new orders by Oberon to place some drops into the eyes of an Athenian man that had a maid chasing him with love. Unfortunately, at the time of his orders Hermia and Lysander where taking rest nearby and Puck mistakenly took Lysander for Demetrius and put the drops into his eyes. When Lysander awoke as Helena was by his side he automatically fell in love with her and at that moment Helena became upset, for she thought that Lysander was just teasing her. With a few words she left and Lysander followed leaving Hermia all alone in the forest.
In act 2, it all begins when Puck accidentally placed the love potion into Lysander's eyes instead of Demetrius'. As Helena chases after Demetrius, she spots Lysander sleeping and wakes him up. When Lysander sees Helena, he immediately falls in love with her. He tells Helena how much she loves her and with that she becomes really upset because she believes that Lysander is playing with her. Helena leaves in a hurry and Lysander follows but leaves hermia to wake up all alone.
