Your Resources - A Midsummer's Night Dream
CarolineK for Hermia
Small and beautiful but strong and angry, Hermia is a hater of authority. She stands up to her father to speak for her right to love and marry the man she chooses for herself. When things start to go wrong, she's very quick to anger and attacks her friends.
She is a noble and speaks rather posh and formally
British accents are more than welcome but not required
All you need is sophistication, smoothness, and strength
1-3 takes for each line, however many you're comfortable with

What's the worst thing you can do to me if I refuse to marry Demetrius?It's most difficult to see in the dark of night, but at least it feels like I can hear more clearly. I couldn't see you, Lysander, but I followed your voice. Why did you leave me behind?
[arguing]
So what is this now? He has a higher opinion of you because you're so freakishly tall and I'm short? Is that it!? So how short am I exactly, you painted streetlight!? Go on! Tell me how short I am! Well guess what, I'm not too short that my nails can't reach high enough to gouge out your eyes!!!
