Dear Athena,
I have a problem and I need some advice. At first everything was perfectly fine, I met the love of my life, Demetrius. He is everything and more! Demetrius is as perfect as a God. Right when I laid eyes on him, I fell in love. I am pretty much obsessed I hate to say. He has told me that he feels the same about me too. I loved life at that moment. I had and still do have a best friend, Hermia. She is extremely pretty; she has a lot of men in love with her. Which for me is a bad thing.
Demetrius suddenly changes. Like hot to cold, white to black, up and down. I don’t get how his love was mine then it all went to my best friend. Hermia got all of Demetrius’ love. She is still my friend but it just makes me so jealous. I know that she doesn’t love him but still. That doesn’t matter, he still loves her and it tears me up inside.
Hermia loves Lysander; they are getting married, secretly. Hermia is supposed to marry Demetrius.
I am going to go tell Demetrius about the secret marriage. This might hurt my friendship with Hermia but I don’t care, as long I get to see the love of my life. This may lead Demetrius to love me again. If it doesn’t what do I do? How can I get him to love me again?
Sincerely,
I Love Demetrius

Dear Athena,
I am a BEAST. I am about to be the main Pyramus in the most joyous tragedy “Pyramus and Thisby” at the Duke’s wedding. With my bad anus acting skills I will move everyone there. I plan to make everyone look at me and say to him/herself, “Did that handsome, beautiful, hot, sexy, moving, loveable man just kill himself?”
I am still greatly upset though. I don’t just want my part to end when I kill myself; I want to play everyone! I think that I can pull this off by playing all of the parts. I will play both the hero and the heroine in this play. I believe I can act out both parts so greatly that no one will know that it is a one-man play. I know that I could roar at myself so greatly that people would say, “Oh snap, that was one crazy roar!”
How Earth can I play all of these parts? Should I take out all of the others from the play somehow, or should I make myself look so much more inferior to them that they will have no other choice than to make me play all of the parts? I know that I am the best and that if I were to do this by myself that it would be better than if we were to have multiple actors.
With regrets,
The Bottomless Actor

Dear Athena,
I desperately need your help with a problem that I have. I am going to win the contest in Athens, which is to produce the best play, and play it at the Duke and Duchess’ wedding. But since I have this certain person in my play, I feel like he is going to completely demolish my perfect play. He is a complete know it all moron, and I need advise of how not to kill this barbarian and save my play from him!
I used to do plays with him, but he always messes them up. Once he was a director for a play that I was in and that the gods Europa and Hera attended. But he poorly chose to do the play of Zeus and Europa having an affair behind Hera’s back. Knowing this Hera cried out during the middle of the play and almost killed the both of us, but spared our lives and instead led her torment onto Europa.
Ever since I invited him to my play, I regretted it from the beginning. I feel that he is going to end up doing the same thing during this play. Also he ALWAYS tries to be every character, but the main part I gave him (which is the main character Pyramus) so he shouldn’t complain. Since he is so full of himself I would just let him be every part in our play but I couldn’t do that because that would be the death of our play. I need to kick him off our play but we are short handed, and I don’t want to hurt his feelings. What do I do?
Need help,
Irritated Director

Dear Athena,
I have a huge problem that is just eating me up inside. I was hoping that you might be able to help me with this tragic issue. I have two boys that love me very much. My parents insist that I marry one of the boys but I love the other one so dearly that I don’t know what I should do.
The boy that I want to marry is just as good as the boy that my parents want me to marry but they do not realize this. The boy I want to marry is just so very romantic and great in every way! He has everything I could possibly ever want in my life. My parents just do not understand.
The other part is that I have a best friend that is in love with the boy that my parents want me to marry. She is in love with him and I am not so I would almost feel guilty marrying him and taking her dream away. I also do not want to disappoint my parents though. I need some advice, please, I am begging you, help me!
Sincerely, Mrs. Confusion

Dear Athena,
I have a dilemma and I don’t know whom else to turn to. A few weeks ago I feel in love with a man names Lysander, but my father does not approve. He wants me to marry a man, I call D (short for Demetrius) who has already won the heart of another woman, who is one of my close friends. But he fails to acknowledge the she exists. My father still expects me to marry him, when I do not love him and he only loves me for my looks.
The man I love has tried to convince my father that he is just as worthy to marry me. But my father still refuses. He gave me an ultimatum; either marry this man he has chosen for me, or I die. Although I was given a third option to choose from, but it’s become a nun. I do not want to die, nor become a nun! Who would force their daughter to do such things? I begged and pleaded my father to let me marry whom I want, but he is not budging. Which leaves me and the man I love no choice, we plan to run away and live with his rich aunt so we can be together. I have told my closest friend this plan, which happens to be the one who loves D. But I have thought long and hard of me leaving to be with Lysander, and I have come to realize, if I run away, I will be living a life of secrecy. If we were to get married, there would only be me him, and a priest. My friends and family would not be able to witness the happiest time of my life.
God knows that I love Lysander, and not D. But my father does not. I am afraid. I do not want to hurt my father, but what must I do to get my happiness? Can he not see how much he is hurting me? What I’m asking you Athena, is how can I keep my father happy, but be with the man I love? How can I live the life I have dreamed of, but with the man I have fallen in love with. Not the one my father has chosen.
-Lost.

Dear Athena,
As you can guess, I have a problem and I need help, big time.
I’m being courted by a man named Demetrius, who, being an ever-watchful Goddess, you’ve already heard about. My problem is not so much with him, but with my dad, Egeus. I think it’s sweet that Demetrius likes me, but, I don’t like him back, and to top it off, my dad wants me to marry him! Why us girls can’t have our choice on who we want to marry, I will never know. I refused and he went to Duke Theseus, and, much to my surprise, he brought Lysander and Demetrius along with him! He explained he was ‘full of vexation’ at my refusal to marry Demetrius, and, being the ruler of Athens, Theseus has the power to decide an argument like this. He listened to my side, Demetrius’ side of things, as well as with Lysander’s part of it, only for a fight to break out between Demetrius and Lysander! Finally, rather than let Theseus make his own decision, my father interfered and asked that an ancient law be invoked. I either choose to marry Demetrius, or, if I stand with my current choice, I can either be killed, or become a nun, an eternal virgin! Why can’t he understand?! Little does he know, I intend to steal away to a wood a mile outside of town with Lysander and marry him there, should I go through with it or not? But what about my dad, what should I do about him? If all else fails, some divine intervention would be nice!
-Worried and under threat.

Hippolyta
Dear Athena,
I have a problem, and I desperately need your help. I have no one else that I can turn to as I am in a strange land and my family is far away. Until 6 months ago I was living the life of a happy warrior princess. No one could defeat me and my army of warrior maidens. I spent my days doing my favorite tasks: training, hunting, sword fighting and hand to hand combat. Life was idealic. But then it all changed.
A hero who we shall call "Duke" landed on my shores. No matter how hard my army fought, we could not defeat him. And worse yet in the middle of the battle I got distracted. I couldn't help noticing his bulging muscles glistening in the warm sun. He was a total hunk! I just stood there with my mouth agape, gazing at his manly physique. And at that moment he struck me down. As the ruler of my people, this act insured that he had won. Not only the battle, but also me. He proved not only his superiority on the battle field but also the quality of his chivalry when he not only spared my life, but also invited me to his tent for dinner.
I have grown to love him. After all he is a total STUD on the battlefield. BUT I am a WARRIOR and nobody and I mean nobody tells me what to do. While I am not unhappy with him, I want our wedding to be MY CHOICE. How can I turn the tide of our love and become the dominant one?
