In Act 3, Scene 2, Oberon finds out that puck sprinkled the juice from the flower that cupid shot with his arrow on the wrong person. Hermia starts to accuse Demetrius of murdering Lysander because she has yet to find him anywhere. Hermia then leaves Demetrius in a rage. Puck then sprinkles the juice from the flower onto Demetrius's eye lids to try and fix his mistake. When Demetrius wakes up, he sees Helena who then he falls in love with. Helena now has both Lysander and Demetrius loving and chasing after her. Once the three of them are all together Helena believes that both Lysander and Demetrius are playing a trick on her because she has very low self esteem and she belives that she is ugly. Hermia then comes into the clearing and is accused by Helena that she is playing a rude joke to make her feel bad. Hermia and Helena start to argue. Lysander then challenges Demetrius to a duel for Helena's heart. They both leave. Oberon then orders Puck to lure Demetrius and Lysander away from each other so that they get tired of looking for each other and so that he can but the love juice from the flower into their eyes. Puck tires out both of the men causing them both to fall asleep, then Oberon sprinkles the love juice from the flower on Demetrius and juice from another flower that is supposed to reverse the effects of the love juice from the flower on Lysander. Helena and Hermia fall asleep in the forest too because they end up being lost, tired and not being able to find their way back home.
