“Oh, I am out of breath in this fond chase.
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace.
Happy is Hermia, wheresoe'er she lies,
For she hath blessèd and attractive eyes.
How came her eyes so bright? Not with salt
tears.” (2.2.61-65)
Left: Helena crying
It is shown that Helena is jealous of Hermia in this quotation. She does not understand why nobody wants her and why Demetrius is acting rudely to her. The one that she wants loves her best friend, and she is overcome with jealousy. Helena claims that Hermia is lucky to get Demetrius to like her, even though she loves Lysander.
