Mommy, Dr. Peter Saccio of the Teaching Company said in his lecture that we don't mix up the two males -- Lysander and Demetrius -- but he's wrong, because Puck did mix them up when he gave them the special flower juice that made you fall in love with the person whom you first saw when you woke up.

The juice was supposed to go into Demetrius's eye, but Puck put it in Lysander's eyes instead. And so when Lysander first woke up, the first person he saw happened to be Helena. And Lysander said, "Not Hermia but Helena I love! Who would not change a raven for a dove?"
