The four young lovers are actually quite different. There are some similarities between them, such as the fact that they belong to the same social class; however, they have different personalities. Helena, for example, is a passionate, manipulative, sneaky, conniving young woman who is rather obsessive. Hermia is demure, well mannered, naive, and proper. Demetrius is extremely charming, manipulative, calculated, and impulsive. Finally, Lysander is determined, resolute, and kind.
They are all friends, so their personalities balance each other out well. The differences in their personalities make the reader realize that love is a common bond between ALL people, no matter how different or similar they are. Love is something all human beings share.
