What the first two scencs of A Midsummer Night's Dream was mostly about love and leadership:
The first scene was about 4 characters who were in love. Hermia liked Lysander, Lysander liked Hermia, Demetrius liked Hermia, and Helena like Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father refused the love between Hermia and Lysander so he sent Theseus to go tell Hermia that she will not marry Lysander or she will be a nun or will be executed. So Hermia and Lysander thought of eloping to to the forest then Lysander's grandmothers house to get married. They then discussed the plan to Helena and she is going to use the information to get Demetrius to like her by telling it to him.
The second scene is about a play for the Duke's wedding. The director is Peter Quince, but a man named Nick Bottom thinks hes the best at everything annd acts like the director. Everyone in the play gets different parts. Francis Flute plays Thisbe, a lady, Robin Starveling plays Thisbe's mother, Tom Snout plays Thisbe's father as well Peter Quince, and Snug plays the lion. They want the play to be a surprise so they are goin to practice in the forest to be secretive instead of practicing in the city.

I liked Scene 1 better because it seemed a little more interesting. It shows how Helena is desperate and is more interesting, it left me on the edge. Scene two seemed more like the beginning. More slow then gets exciting later on.
