A "love triangle" is when three people are involved with each other, either directly or indirectly. For instance, a man dating two different women who might or might not know about each other.

∙ 12y agoAt the start of the play, both Lysander and Demetrius love Hermia. That's the triangle. Hermia loves Lysander but her dad prefers Demetrius. (Which prompts Lysander to say cheekily, "Do you marry him?")
A little later, we find that Helena loves Demetrius. Then Lysander gets juiced with some magic juice and falls for Helena. Now we have something like a square: Lysander loves Helena who loves Demetrius who loves Hermia who loves Lysander.
To fix this Demetrius gets juiced and he falls for Helena. Now we have a Lysander--Demetrius--Helena triangle.
Only when Lysander gets unjuiced and returns to Hermia do the young people fall into nice neat couples.
