Theseus reminds Hermia that the person she is, with her beauty as an asset that is so appreciated by Lysander, is because she is the product of her father. She is "but as a form in wax (Shakespeare online), a reproduction of her father, "By him imprinted within his power (Shakespeare online).

Johnnie Patricia Mobley resolves the conflict between the characters of Hermia and Helena (on whose behalf Oberon intercedes with his good intentions of administering the magic potion). Hermia and Lysander do this by sharing with Helena their plan to run away beyond the authority of Hermia's father so that they can be together (Mobley 16). This is Shakespeare's way of addressing the love triangle, which must have often come up in the lives of people whose marriages were arranged. It also looks at the solution for Hermia and Lysander, and Oberon's intervention gives the audience, and Hermia, time to contemplate the ramifications of making the choice to defiance of her father's wishes.

When Oberon intercedes, making a mistake with the potion that transfers Lysander's affections to Helena, and Hermia can see that, after all, affection is fleeting, and that love is more than the passion of unexplored physicality.

However, love, in the end is a strange experience, as the play invokes Kehler's focus of dream states to resolve the issues between the characters. The play the see puts their lives in perspective for them, but it does not resolve their dilemmas of affection. In the end, whether one makes choices of duty, or not, the heart speaks.
