Dear Athena
I have a problem. I love a man that is known as Lysander. He has wooed me and I am now deeply attracted to him. But there is one problem. My bumbling idiot of a father wont let me marry him. He wants me to marry another man that I really don’t like.
The man he wants me to marry kind of reminds me of a stocker. He always follows me and tries to give me his love. The more he pushes me the more I despise him. I need a way to dispose of him.
Can you give me some advice soon because me and my hot stud Lysander are going into the forest tomorrow and I really don’t want to be distracted in the heat of the moment. We are running to his aunt’s house to be fugitives. Hes a little on the wild side.
Sincerely BLACK LAVENDER

Dear Athena,
I’m utterly confused. I’m so handsome, so delectable. I have many talents. I can sing, act, and fix many things. I’m so sweet and romantic to any of my lovers and give them all my respect. I even help my stunning wife out around the house on those blistering nights after the bar when I manage to stumble home. With all my manly qualities, I don’t see why I have so little respect in my community.
I’ll walk down the street and everybody glares. I constantly am getting laughed at; I’m so tired of it. Usually, I come home to my house egged and or toilet papered. The other day I even got wine dumped on me from a bunch of hooligans. After a long day at work who would want to have your house a wreck? I end up just crying myself to sleep. Nobody respects me; even my own mother mocks me. I actually am very great, but no one can see that. I got the worst part in the play for the Duke’s wedding but the director barely notices my I incredible skills.
Is there no cure for this wretched curse? I need to be respect; if I’m not then everyone will always walk all over me! To be successful I need my friends and family’s support, but they won’t ever stop laughing at me! Athena, please, I’m begging you, help me. How do I gain respect?
Sincerely,
Cowardly Lion.

Dear Athena,
I have a problem and I desperately need your help. I’m afraid that my wonderful performance qualities are not being showcased enough with the recent part I’ve been given to perform. I have been so great to Peter Quince that I just cannot believe he didn’t give me a bigger role. I mean I’m obviously the best actor he has ever directed. If I continue to play such small roles I’m afraid that no one will discover my great talents. I need help getting a different part or leading another play.
Before the last few months I was playing and performing the most notorious lead roles of the greatest plays known to man. Then Peter Quince held auditions for his latest play and I knew that I could bring the most entertainment so I auditioned. I was expecting the lead role as always but was surprisingly shocked to find that that wouldn’t be the case. I discovered my role would be the character Pyramus. There were many actors complaining about the roles they had received. In my opinion Peter should have fired them because I could be a one-man play.
It puzzles me as to why Peter cannot see my amazing talent. I have shown him that my ability to act is obviously much greater than any other actor because I can play every part better than anyone else. What else could I do to prove myself to Peter?

Dear Athena,
I am a know it all show-off who knows everything about everything. I believe I am one of the greatest people around, and want to impress everybody every single second of the day. I walk around the streets every day and act like I am just the coolest person anybody has ever known. I have just landed a major role in a play that we are going to be performing for the duke, and I am pretty sure I will be the best performer in this play.
As it happens I have one major problem with this play. I am only allowed to play one part in it and I believe I should be playing everybody else’s part as well. This is a major disappointment to me. ☹ I tried talking the director in to letting me play every part but he wont let me. I have to play the part of Pyramus and nothing else. I believe that I should be able to do anything I want and have everybody look at me.
I need some major help with this. I am deciding whether I should accept the fact that I am just playing Pyramus, or if I should go for all the parts. Or maybe I should just quit the play all together? I need your help Athena and it would be greatly appreciated.
Signed,
Mr. Amazing

Dearest Athena,
My life might well be thought perfect, though it is not. Over me two men have fought. One of them I am madly in love with, but the other is just a total and complete twit. The one that means the world to me is the one that I want to be with. My father, however, disapproves greatly. So much, in fact, that he was willing to behead me! He wants the twit and I to elope. But I want to cut his head open like a cantaloupe.
The man I love – shall we call him Bill – is a perfect gentleman. He was raised better by his parents than anybody else can! He has just as much wealth as that twit – shall we call him Bob – keeps. Bill is also as high up in reputation as Bob, who also often peeps. How can I love someone like Bob, that awful muddle head! How many rude things about others he has said. He tries to understand me, to love me as well. But no love for him from me has fell. He wooed my best friend, and didn’t say a word. She would love for him to with her flirt. He broke her heart; ere I say, I may break his face.
Bill, however, is like a miracle sent from above. Many a times he has told me it is I whom he must love. I believe it, too. I love him just as much as Aphrodite came from a sea of blue. He has courted me, brought me flowers, loved me most; he has cooked for me quite a delicious roast. He is amazing, you see. I want nothing more than for him to be with me. He speaks to me kindly, and treats me fair. He loves everything about me, from my toes to my hair. Oh, dearest Athena, I love him so. Why can’t my life with him begin to grow?
And my best friend, Ame, we shall say, thinks ill of herself to this very day. She is beautiful, can’t she see? Why, she is just as or even more beautiful than me! But yet she believes this not so; all because Bob would rather be her foe. Bob, you see, is whom she loves. But Bob has not seen the love-showing white doves. He rather treats her badly, and yet she stays. She has spent many a sleepless night wondering about his ways. He said he loved her, ‘til he saw me. Why so complicated does love have to be? And so, dearest Athena, you must see my predicament. Please send me some help, for I am sick of it! I trust in you, goddess of wisdom. Please, fix love’s system!

Ean P.
Dear Athena,
I am in love with a man who loves another. He is a beautiful man. His chiseled face, his lean arms, and his gentle touch won my heart before he ever met her.
When it was he and I, only him and me, he was the most romantic man I’ve ever met. He took me out dancing in the middle of the night, and stole kisses under the oak tree, when no one was looking. When he held me, he was gentle. His strong arms held me gently, and kindly, as only a true lover can. He serenaded me outside my window, and gave me gifts that he created; a necklace of sea shells, a rosebush he grew himself, and so much more than just that. His love was gentle, kind, respectful, teasing, and firm. His love was the love that only a true man can give. He loved me more than anyone
But then he met one of my best friends; we shall call “Thief.” He saw her, and swooned. He not only forgot about me, but now despises me. He loves her, and wants her, but she loves another man. He won’t accept me, but he needs the girl whose father he loves.
I would do anything for him, and yet he won’t speak to me, he won’t even look at me the same. His eyes are no longer full of love and longing, but hatred. The more I love him, the more he hates me. The more I pursue him, the more he evades me. He is all that I want, all that I need, and I feel that I will die without him. Beautiful, wise, glorious Athena, I need to know what to do. I’m utterly confused and don’t have any idea what to do. Please help!
Sincerely,
With respect and love,
The Hopeless Lover

Dear Athena,
I have a very large problem. I need help and you are the only one I can turn to, now. I love this girl Hermia, very much. Her father, loves and would prefer me to marry her, instead of that despicable other, who plans on marrying her, also.
I have the upper hand in being in her father’s good graces, but he wins when it comes to her love. That’s my problem. She loves the other guy. It’s a wonder when obviously I am the better man.
Recently, my old girlfriend, gave me information on my loves whereabouts for tomorrow night. Usually, she stalks me and pleads for me to be with her, but I guess people can change. I do hope she doesn’t follow me to the woods tomorrow night, for if she does, I would surely disgrace myself in front of Hermia.
Also, her father, sentenced her to death if she doesn’t marry me. But, I’ve heard tell that the Duke gave her another option. To become a nun. I do hope she doesn’t do that, because then her and I will both be lonely. Her especially.
So tomorrow, I adventure out on my bicycle, to try to find my love. I hope you can provide me with the insight to fulfill my quest. To have Hermia, or not, I will be happy to just have an answer.
Signed,

I have a huge problem with my director. He thinks I am just a mediocre actor when I am to acting what icy hot is to pain relief. Now I know I am amazing and every one loves me when I roar softly. When I plaid the part of Hercules in my play I wooed the crowd with my amazing muscles and tan skin. I could barley fight off the girls after the play was over. There is no one even close to my abilities in acting.
I have so many acting jobs lined up that I will have to turn some down just so I can sleep. Who else do you know that has that good of a reputation with all of the millionaires in the world.
Well enough about my perfection ate acting. How do I turn this imposture into another follower of mine. I’m baffled by his stupidity. Shall I just wait or what, I need help!

Dear Athena,
I have a huge problem I am in a play about Perimas and Thisbe is and I am the most, manly of all the actors but I am being forced to play the princess This be and I am just growing my beard out. If I do play this character then I will have to shave my beard and talk like women. All the other actors are going to call me a wossie.
The real problem is that Perimas is the weirdest guy I have ever seen. He thinks he should play every part and thinks he is the best man in the whole world. I don’t know how I will exert any energy into acting like I’m in love with him.

Dear Athena,
I have a problem, I have such great talents and no one seems to notice how great I really am. I am good at everything I do like when I act before everyone I can out act anyone. Gosh I am just sweet like no one else I am the best of the worst, but Quince won’t let me exert my power over the theater industry. I have no way to impress him because he wouldn’t know great acting if it punched him in the face. If I don’t work all of the parts the play will be ruined because no one can act like I can.
People just don’t fully appreciate me as a person. Like Quince, he wants the boy with a beard coming in right now to play the girl and I could do it for him because I can do anything and everything. He doesn’t believe that I could do all the parts for him even though he knows that I very well could. It is just fully unfair.
I am the best actor in all of Athens and the only person that doesn’t see it is my director, Quince. I believe in the gods themselves saw how great I acted they would put me in their plays. It is a great story and great for a wedding but Quince just isn’t getting it to its full potential.
Yours truly

Dear Athena Goddess of war and wisdom,
I have an issue. I am deeply in love with a man named Demetrius when he clearly does not love me. Just a few recent months ago he was in love with me as he told me many times . He gave me flowers,trinkets,and chocolates by the armful, but then Hermia my dearest friend walked into the room as I was talking to Demetrius. His eyes immediately drifted and his heart was ripped from my clutches. He then got up and met her. She then ran out of the room for her heart belonged to another.
From then on he has ignored me constently and has shown me no interest whatsoever. I know that my friend Hermia is going to leave wth her lover Lysander. My plan is to telll Demetrius so that he will trust me more and see that she is a lieing conieving witch. I really am doing this though so That I can just see my love. I really am deeply conflicted, but am extremely hurt over this issue. I must win his heart and he must be mine in the end what is you advice for me Greatest Goddess Athena.

Dear Athena,
I have a huge problem. You are the only one I can turn to, for my best friend, we’ll call her the Beauty, is the part of the problem. She obtains the love of the man I love, we’ll call him Batman, but she does not return the feeling. How she cannot love him I don’t have a clue, because he is the noblest man and he’s stolen my heart. Yet he still loves her, even though she throws his love away. She has her own love affair going on and has her own problems she can deal with. Why should I help her if I get nothing in return?
She’s always coming to me saying how horrible it is that she and her love can never be together. Has she ever tried loving someone that will never love her back? I don’t think so. She’s got it easy because now she’s going to run away into the woods then everything will go just peachy. Then my love, which happens to be Beauty’s husband-to-be although she doesn’t it want that, will go searching for her even though he doesn’t truly love her. He just sees that she’s amazingly gorgeous and everyone says I’m just as pretty but not to Batman. No, no, even though he won my heart and told ME he loved ME after he met Beauty I was forgotten, left behind, like I was never there.
Now I’ve been doing ALL I can to win his love but nothing works. It’s as though he’s blind, Beauty loves her own man and wants nothing to do with Batman, he just can’t seem to see reality. Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think ANY of this is fair on my part. Beauty is in love with her man Batman loves Beauty and Beauty’s man loves her back. I love Batman, but NOBODY loves me in return. I NEED your advice Athena, you are the only one who can help me at this point, I beg you.

Dear Athena,
I am preparing to participate in a play for Hipalita’s wedding day. I feel that I am the best actor for all of the parts. But the director whose name I will not mention has decided that I am to play the part of Pyramus and only this part. But I feel that I can play the part of Thisbe better that that moron with the beard finally growing in. I would be doing him a favor anyway.
I am asking for your opinion on the subject on how to take on the problem of working with fools. I do not want to be rude but I want the play to be good as well.
If you will help me in my situation I will be very pleased. Nobody has offered me any advice. Thank you.

Dear Athena,
I need desperate help and advice from the one and only wisest of this earthly place. How can someone walk into my loves life and steal his love from me. He shall love me no more. Demetrius and I were once madly in love with each other.
I was loved very much before Hermia arrived. My father introduced Demetrius and me. His father and mine used to work together at the blacksmithing shop. They were the best of friends. His father used to baby-sit me when I was a young girl. My father also watched Demetrius and he dramatically fell in love with him. He always told me he was the perfect guy for me. I have always thought Demetrius was amazing in every way shape or form.
Hermia says “God speed, fair Helena! Wither away?”
“Well if I am really this fair why does Demetrius love you more than he can love me? Why does Demetrius love your fair and not mine? I have known him longer than your will ever know him. “The more I love, the more he hateth me.” I feel so horrible! Hermia has told me she is going to run away with her beloved Lysander. She is my best friend and she is cheating on her fiancée. I don’t care is she cheats because then Demetrius will be mad at her and fall back in love with me. Shall it work? Or how can I act to get my beloved Demetrius to love ME again?

His father used to baby-sit me when I was a young girl. My father also watched Demetrius and he dramatically fell in love with him. He always told me he was the perfect guy for me. I have always thought Demetrius was amazing in every way shape or form.
Hermia says “God speed, fair Helena! Wither away?”
“Well if I am really this fair why does Demetrius love you more than he can love me? Why does Demetrius love your fair and not mine? I have known him longer than your will ever know him. “The more I love, the more he hateth me.” I feel so horrible! Hermia has told me she is going to run away with her beloved Lysander. She is my best friend and she is cheating on her fiancée. I don’t care is she cheats because then Demetrius will be mad at her and fall back in love with me. Shall it work? Or how can I act to get my beloved Demetrius to love ME again?

Dear Athena,
I have a problem that I desperately need your help with! My love life seems to be in ruins! First, let me lay out the basics. My dear friend, Helena is head-over-heels for this nobleman, Demetrius. He swore oaths to her and all seemed to be going well for the two. I myself had fallen in love too with this sweet nobleman, Lysander. But then problems arose, for my controlling and stubborn father had already chosen a husband for me! And whom had he chosen? None other then the love of Helena’s life, Demetrius.
To make things worse as soon as Demetrius and I met he seems to have completely forgotten about dear, sweet, Helena. She admires him so, but he returns none of her affections any longer. And me? My feelings have not changed. I still wish to be only with my Lysander. I told my father that I only wish to marry Lysander and now he’s completely taken things to the extremes!
My father took Lysander, Demetrius, and I to the Duke to get the matter resolved, and the Duke gave me only three options. Since I’m supposedly my father’s “property” he’s allowed to do with me what he pleases. I am either to marry Demetrius or my father could sentence me to death. However, I could also choose a life of nunnery. But I cannot choose any of those options! I will not live without my Lysander, but I don’t know what to do! Please help.
