In Act IV, Scene 1, of A Midsummer Night's Dream, as the drama nears resolution, to whom does Demetrius address these lines? My love to Hermia,
Melted as the snow, seems to me now
As the remembrance of an idle gaud

B. Theseus

Explanation:

"Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play written by Shakespeare. This play is a comedy, where there is a lot of confusion with couples in love, humans and fairies.

In this play we are introduced to Hermia and Lysander, who are in love and want to get married, but cannot. Hermia's father promised her in marriage to Demetrius who loves her, but Helena loves Demetrius who is not interested in her.

The four young people are victims of a fairy prank that makes Helena fall in love with Lysander, while Demetrius and Lysaner fall in love with Helena. This creates a great deal of confusion, which needs to be resolved by Theseus, the Duke of Rome.

When Theseus goes to talk to the young people to understand what happened, Demetrius tells him:

"My love to Hermia,

Melted as the snow, seems to me now

As the remembrance of an idle gaud"

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
