Dear Athena
I am the duke of Athens and I reacently concerd the amazon warrior prinsess and her people and in doing so I won her hand in marrige. The night of my wedding a dear friend of mine named egeus came to me and asked if I could do a trial on his daughter and her two suitors. This has become very stressful on me and I can see the stress building in hermias eyes. I can see were her point is she does not want to marry Demetrius. We all have heard the story of the woman that he wooed and then left her basically on the side of the road and went after hermia. I think she left him because she found out what he had done. She wants to marry Lysander. She is in love with him and he is in love with her. They look perfect for each other. Her father has a different opinion though, he wants her to marry Demetrius and if he doesn’t get his way than its no ones way. He basically told her either you marry him or I will have you sent to death. The ancient law states that he brought her in and he can take her out. But as duke I must have some say in this right? I kind of gave her a third chose besides forced marriage or death. I told her she could live a life free of men and a virgin forever as a nun. She has her choice but she has yet to make it yet. I really need your wisdom on this for this event is putting negative stress on my wedding ceremony. I really don’t want to see hermia as a nun or dead. I would like to see her get happily married and have kids of her own. Athena, what should I do about this for I cannot deify the ancient law?
Sincerely
Paul
Dear, Duke
ReplyDeleteThis is an easy problem to fix. all you have to do is just say guilty. I mean if the person is in a life or death situation then actually look at it. But if it's on our wedding night, just say "NO" to that Egeus guy. If he gets mad just hit him in the face... I mean you ARE the duke, you cant get in trouble. If something happens to your friendship well then you don't ever have to do that trial.
good luck

Dear Paul,
ReplyDeleteIt seems you are caught "between the legs" in this situation. Do not fret, for I have news for you. Hermia and Lysander are leaving tonight, under the cover of darkness they will flee. If her heart IS of any concern to you, you will aid her in her flight from Egeus and her might-have-been suitor.
If you use this information ill, I will make it so your wedding doesn't happen.
After all, your bride was born for war, so why shouldn't I put her to use?
Good luck, Nate Ricketts
