In Helena's soliloquy, she states: "Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste—Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste. And therefore is Love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.."

• Helena is commenting on the the power of love to change the way we see someone, but also the irrational nature of love.

• Helena is expressing her admiration for Cupid, and is jealous of his ability to force love.

• Hermia is curious about why Cupid is blind and wants a more logical approach to love.
