Theseus is anxiously awaiting the wedding day, but Hippolyta reassures him that "Four days will swiftly steep themselves in nights." Egeus interrupts them and declares that Hermia's refusal to wed the suitor he has chosen for her, Demetrius, has caused him "full of vexation."
Hermia's dispute with her father, which is practically a matter of life or death for her, is the only one that a Midsummer Night's Dream addresses seriously. According to Athens' legal system, she cannot pick her spouse. Death or Demetrius, according to her father.
