Lysander is the real love of Hermia. He is persistent about marrying with Hermia and he can do everything to accomplish this goal (just like Hermia). Lysander is also honest and brave enough to speak truth even to his love, Hermia, no matter how much he might disappoint her (For example, he could tell Hermia that he had lost their way and how much he loved her very easily). Even though he seems to be persistent on his love in Hermia, just one drop of the juice is enough to make him turn the route of his love entirely to Helena (as in Act II, Scene II).
