Helena refers to her as 'fierce even though she is little'. In the end Egeus cannot stop Demetrius from loving Helena as when he asks him about his change of heart, he replies, 'The object and the pleasure of mine eye, is only Helena.' This could mean two things, he could either love Helena and she is the source of his happiness or Demetrius still has the magic juice in his eyes. This conjures up the validity of the love, could it be fake?.
Although "A Midsummer Night's Dream" begins and ends at the Athenian court, most of the play takes place in a wood beyond the city, where invisible fairies cast spells over two groups of humans. Which creates entertainment for the audience for stress for the characters. The Magic Juice is one of the most important aspects of the play. The effect of the magic juice is to speed up the process of falling in and out of love so that it comes to seem silly. Shakespeare uses the magic juice to create dramatic irony as the audience know about the magic juice and are aware that Puck has used it on the wrong person. We can therefore enjoy the characters' reactions. Instead of using the juice on Demitrius, Robin (Puck) uses it on Lynsander and he awakens to fall in love with Helena. This demonstrates that love can sometimes be meddled with easily and can occasionally be false. Lysander assures Hermia of his 'lifelong loyalty' and as a reader we are ready to enjoy the dramatic irony as he switches his allegiance to Helena. .
Confusion and comedy are created in this scene as Helena is in disbelief about Lynsander and believes he is mocking her due to his instant transformation. Helena claims that she is 'as ugly as a bear' which indicates how without being loved by the one we love, we can sometimes become demoralized and self-conscious. Titania and Oberon are also affected by the magic juice. Oberon orders the fairies to put the juice on his lover as they have a disagreement.
