INSIDE SCOOP
THE INSIDE SCOOP IN THE PALACE REVEALED - DAUGHTER REFUSES TO MARRY!
On 20th January, a townsman named Egeus was seen storming into the Duke’s palace with his daughter, Hermia, in tow He apparently went to complain that his daughter was ignoring his wishes for her to marry Demetrius.
Egeus has claimed that he wants the best for his daughter and thinks she should abide by his wishes to marry Demetrius
An informant in the palace claims that the Duke told Hermia that, “To you your father should be as a God, one that composed your beauties; ye, and one to whom you are but a form in wax by him imprinted, and within his power to leave the figure, or disfigure it. Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.” Hermia responded by addressing the Duke which shocked onlookers and apparently her father

Lysander implored the Duke that he was as “rich and brave” as Demetrius, and he had the best intentions in marrying Egeus’ daughter He also called into doubt Demetrius’s morals, exposing that he had led another woman, Helena, on, and that she was devastated that he had neglected his promise to her
However, Lysander, Hermia’s true love, is causing problems in Egeus’ preference Hermia now refuses to leave her love for Demetrius.
The reported response, to this catastrophe of love, by the Duke was simple, “If she has no interest for love in Demetrius she has two options: death or the option to become a Nun with no interest in men and a devotion to God”
That is the latest news and we eagerly wait to see the outcome of this matter
