Helena: O excellent! Hermia: Sweet, do not scorn her so. Demetrius: If she cannot entreat, I can compel. Lysander: Thou canst compel no more than she entreat; Thy threats have no more strength than her weak prayers. Helen, I love thee, by my life I do; I swear by that which I will lose for thee To prove him false that says I love thee not. Demetrius: I say I love thee more than he can do. Lysander: If thou say so, withdraw, and prove it too. Demetrius: Quick, come. Hermia: Lysander, whereto tends all this? Lysander: Away, you Ethiope! Demetrius: No, no, he will Seem to break loose – take on as you would follow, But yet come not. You are a tame man; go! Lysander: Hang off, thou cat, thou burr; vile thing, let loose, Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent. Hermia: Why are you grown so rude? What change is this, Sweet love? Lysander: Thy love! Out, tawny Tartar, out! Out, loathed med’cine! O hated potion, hence! Hermia: Do you not jest? Helena: Yes, sooth; and so do you. Lysander: Demetrius, I will keep my word with thee. Demetrius: I would I had your bond; for I perceive A weak bond holds you; I’ll not trust your word. Lysander: What, should I hurt her, strike her, kill her dead? Although I hate her, I’ll not harm her so. Hermia: What! Can you do me greater harm than hate? Hate me! wherefore? O me! what news, my love? Am not I Hermia? Are not you Lysander? I am as fair now as I was erewhile. Since night you lov’d me; yet since night you left me. Why then, you left me – O, the gods forbid! – In earnest, shall I say? Lysander: Ay, by my life! And never did desire to see thee more. Therefore be out of hope, of question, of doubt; Be certain, nothing truer; ’tis no jest That I do hate thee and love Helena. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40

5 0427/02/M/J/22 © UCLES 2022 [Turn over Hermia: O me! you juggler! you cankerblossom! You thief of love! What! Have you come by night, And stol’n my love’s heart from him? Helena: Fine, i’ faith! Have you no modesty, no maiden shame, No touch of bashfulness? What! Will you tear Impatient answers from my gentle tongue? Fie, fie! you counterfeit, you puppet you! Hermia: ‘Puppet!’ why so? Ay, that way goes the game. Now I perceive that she hath made compare Between our statures; she hath urg’d her height; And with her personage, her tall personage, Her height, forsooth, she hath prevail’d with him. And are you grown so high in his esteem Because I am so dwarfish and so low? How low am I, thou painted maypole? Speak. How low am I? I am not yet so low But that my nails can reach unto thine eyes. Helena: I pray you, though you mock me, gentlemen, Let her not hurt me. I was never curst; I have no gift at all in shrewishness; I am a right maid for my cowardice; Let her not strike me. You perhaps may think, Because she is something lower than myself, That I can match her. [From Act 3, Scene 2] How does Shakespeare make this such a powerfully dramatic moment in the play?
