Dear Agony Aunt,
I am desperate for your help! My beloved boyfriend has broken up with me so he can go off with my best friend. I know that Hermia (my BFF) doesn’t want to marry Demetrius (my true love); she is being forced by her despicable father. Even though Hermia is beautiful, I am certain that Demetrius would be happier with me. In my mind, he still loves me but, whenever I go near him, I get abuse and threats thrown in my face. Despite his rudeness, I am determined to get him to go out with me again.
Furthermore, I am so worried about Hermia because her father is threatening her: marry Demetrius or DIE! I’ve known Hermia since school but I’m anxious that our friendship will be destroyed if this problem isn’t sorted. I am begging you for your help. I’m desperate for advice. This love-life chaos is getting out of control. Please help!
Yours faithfully,
Helena
