A Midsummer Night's Dream act 1

In Act 1  of A Midsummer Night's Dream, we are introduced to many characters. Hippolyta and Theseus discuss their plans for marriage. Egeus expresses that he is not going to permit his daughter, Hermia, to marry Lysander. He will either have her killed or have her become a nun. Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius, who is basically a jerk. Helena loves Demetrius, who used to love her, but now pursues Hermia. Hermia and Lysander decide to run away to the forest, where they will elope. Helena finds this out and decides to tell Demetrius, because she thinks it will make him love her.

    Amanda, I'm glad to see that you've posted your Act 1 summary, but where's scene 2?
