Act 1, Scene 1: The Curtain Rises

1. I am Lysander: When night falls tomorrow, my love and I will finally be able to be together! I've waited so long for this and I cannot believe it is becoming a reality. I have a plan already all mapped out in my head. As the sun sets across the horizon we will sneak our way into the cover of the woods and walk to my aunt's house just outside of the city. It is there we will get married and start our lovely life together. Oh my I cannot wait another second! She is just so wonderful, everything about her is just amazing. The way her eyes twinkle in the moonlight, and the way her hair flows in the wind, it is all just so perfect and amazing. I wouldn't want one single thing about my beautiful Hermia to be different, because she is already as beautiful, kind and astonishing as anyone could ever imagine.

2. I am Demetrius: How could Hermia not have feelings for me? My eyes are only set on her, I only have love for her. I look at her and only wish that she would feel the same way for me. All I want is for her to have mutual feelings so that we can be with each other. I wish she didn't like Lysander so much, he is no better than I! I cannot comprehend why she loves him and not I. Lysander is nothing but an immature swine, and I am nothing but a mature, loving man with lots to give such a wonderful girl like you. I never knew what it would feel like to love someone who doesn't even have the slightest interest in me, until now. It has been having an affect on my self-esteem lately. I just don't understand what it is about me that she doesn't seem to like. There must be something, and if I want her than I have to fix whatever it is she doesn't like.

  1. Good effort.
    Consider formatting so that they look like they're in a play, not a prose work.
