1) Journal entry – Hermia
I wish that my father would understand who I really love, instead of forcing me to marry some clown in which will never happen. It’s like he’s under a Demetrius love spell, I wonder if he got to know my love Lysander a little better his opinions would change. I also wish that Theseus would come up and speak of something, he is in love , and he is marrying the love of his life why am I unable to marry mine. I have to choose between death or marrying someone I see nothing in, no future , no kids , no happiness. Demetrius should still be in love with my best friend, they were perfect together!
