LYSANDER
Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! Vile thing, let loose,
Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent.
HERMIA
Why are you grown so rude? What change is this,
Sweet love?
LYSANDER
Thy love? Out, tawny Tartar, out!
Out, loathèd med'cine! O. hated potion, hence! (3.2.270-275)
After Lysander has been drugged by Oberon's love juice, he falls instantly in love with Helena and violently out of love with Hermia. What's interesting is that, when characters fall out of love in this play, their love turns into hate rather than indifference. What's up with that?

LYSANDER
You have her father's love, Demetrius.
Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him. (1.1.95-96)
Lysander makes a pretty good point here—Egeus and Demetrius get along far better than Demetrius and Hermia. In fact, Hermia has been left out of the marriage negotiations altogether. The contract has been put together by two men.
