Theseus: What do you have to say my dear Hermia? Demetrius is a admirable man
Hermia: So as to Lysander, my lord
Theseus: You’re right…since your father is in charge she should consider Demetrius as your husband
Hermia: I wish my father would understand
Theseus: Well, you must obey your father
Hermia: Please forgive me for saying this, but what could be the worst for me to marry Demetrius
Theseus: You’ll be excuted or become a nun and never see other men in your life again.
