Document Summary
Theseus (duke of athens) and hippolyta (his fianc e) talk about their wedding that"s in four days. They"re impatient so theseus orders philostrate (his master of the revels) to get some entertainment for them to pass the time. Egeus (citizen of athens) comes in with his daughter hermia and two guys: lysander and demetrius. Egeus has a complaint for theseus against daughter: he promised his daughter hermia to demetrius who loves her but she has fallen in love with lysander and she refuses to marry demetrius. Theseus tells hermia she"ll either be sent to a nunnery or put to death if she does not follow her father"s wishes. Lysander steps in and says hold up bro, demetrius is an unfaithful ass he was engaged to helena but left her for hermia (i"m paraphrasing) Theseus acknowledges that he knew that and takes egeus and and d to the side to talk.
