Answer: The character that falls in love with Helena first is<u> A. Demetrius. </u>
Explanation: <u>At the beginning of </u><u><em>A Midsummer Night's Dream</em></u><u>, Demetrius</u>, a nobleman,<u> is engaged to Helena</u>, the daughter of Nedar. In that way, <u>Demetrius is the first one to fall in love with her</u>; however, throughout the play,<u> he stops loving her and ends up falling in love with Helena's friend, Hermia</u>. When Oberon perceives that Demetrius has rejected Helena, he orders Puck to enchant Demetrius in order for him to love Helena again. However, Puck makes a mistake and enchants Lysander instead. Therefore, Demetrius is the first character that falls in love with Helena. Lysander is the second one.
