In Shakespeare’s play much ado about nothing many of the characters go through huge changes in their attitude though out the play, especially Benedick? He is a powerful yet sympathetic character, who develops throughout the course of the play. He is seen as a ‘player’, a man who does not want to get married have children and someone who doesn’t believe in love. The only character that was show love was Beatrice who has the same attitude toward life as him which cause there relationship to be a love hate. Eventually, he opens up his eyes to love.

Benedick is a fun loving a man known as a ‘player’, who does not want to settle down and who does not believe in love. “But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted, and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart, for, truly, I love none” Benedick says to Beatrice that he believes he is loved by ‘all ladies’ apart from her. “I may go the finer, I will live a bachelor” Benedick believes that he will live forever as a bachelor and will never get married.
Benedick was a loving friendly man and was well-loved by all, “No glory lives behind the back of such. And, Benedick, love on; I will requite thee, taming my wild heart to thy loving hand: If thou dost love, my kindness shall incite thee. To bind our loves up in a holy band” says Beatrice, first time of her showing a slight affection of Benedick. At first not sure of how much she loves him. Yet, when he finds his true feelings “I do love nothing in the world so well as you: is not that strange?” says Benedick to Beatrice when he realises his love for her.

    Beatrice's cunning and haughty barb to a masked Benedick shows her averseness to Benedick. In addition to this, she further insults Benedick by the words 'dull' and 'fool.' it impies that Benedick is gray, boring and imbecilic, contrary to what Benedick thinks about himself. The choice of words add further insult to Benedick as they are strong words, not used in their ordinary fights, showing Benedick the true hatred of him by Beatrice for a variety of reasons. The satirical paraphrase 'only his gift is devising impossible slanders' is particularly wounding to Benedick as it alludes to the fact that he is useless, and is not good at anything, from love to war, it's clearly sacritical as it amuses other people, while still affecting Benedick and her…

    In the text, Much Ado About Nothing, many of the characters show comedic and tragic aspects. Even though most characters in the text show different aspects and traits, Benedick shows the most tragic and comedic aspects. An example of Benedick showing comedic aspects would be in act 2 scene 1; Benedick disguises himself with a mask along with changing his voice. Benedick disguises his voice with an accent, which brings humor to the reader, and or audience (if watching the movie). Another example, from the movie, of Benedick being humorous would be when Benedick is overhearing Leonato, Don Pedro, and Claudio saying Beatrice is in love with him.…

    Firstly, Beatrice is one of the main female characters in this play. She is niece of Leonato and is unfortunately an orphan, reason of which she has immense freedom. Having so much freedom explains why she is so different from the other women of that time. She did not have the same respect for men since she did not grow up with a father figure like Hero for instance. Being Leonato's niece, makes her Hero's cousin, which explains their close friendship. She is extremely protective of her cousin Hero, and puts her before anyone. Beatrice does not like the idea of marriage and falling in love to her is nothing important what so ever. Being as witty as she is, Beatrice often bickers with men, especially Benedick. Beatrice and Benedick always have arguments in which their goal is to outwit each other. Beatrice seems to be a very strong woman and is fully capable of dealing with many situations thrown at her. Her vulnerability however, comes out eventually. Don Pedro, among others, know that Beatrice puts up a front, that she is not truly as arrogant as she sometime acts. Her bickering with Benedick is sign of love, and everyone is well aware of this. Since it is so obvious, Don Pedro eventually suggests to trick Beatrice…

    Benedick’s attitude towards love is that he does not love anyone and that it is a stupid idea to fall in love with someone. Then he further explains himself in, “Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted; and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart, for truly I love none” (Act 1, scene 1, lines 122-125, page 13). In this quote Benedick says that the woman’s courtesy is a traitor and that all ladies love him, except for Beatrice. He also states that it is to bad that he is so hard-hearted, because he really doesn’t love anyone. Beatrice’s attitude towards love is that she does not want to be married to a man that swears to love her, because she finds that very stupid. She then further explains herself by stating in, “A dear happiness to women. They would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank god and my cold blood I am of your humor for that. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me” (Act 1, scene 1, lines 126-130, page 15). In this quote Beatrice is saying that Benedick would make a nasty suitor for women and that they both feel the same way about love. She also states that she would rather hear her dog bark at a crow than hear a man say that he loves her. And I find their courtship more appealing than Claudio and Hero’s, because it is more exciting and you can’t predict what they are going to say…

    I first got the idea for the headcanon in the first scene of the play, when Benedick explicitly states he has never been in love: “And I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart, for truly I love none.” (1.1) In the same scene, he implies that he doesn’t understand romantic attraction: “That I neither feel how [Hero] should be loved nor know how she should be worthy is the opinion that fire cannot melt out of me.” (1.1)…

    The relationship between Benedick and Beatrice can be interpreted as genuine regardless of the comedic nature of the play by the portrayal of them both being mirror images of each other when Benedick describes himself as having ‘cold blood’ and Beatrice refers to herself as having a ‘hard heart.’ The parallel structure demonstrated in this scene adds to the element of the genuine underlying feelings they have through the use of dramatic irony as the audience can identify connections and similarities between the two that they seem unaware of, this can be seen as a comedic element but their feelings are still rendered as genuine due to their matching personalities which suggests that they would be a jubilant match. As well as this, the continuous references to their objection of marriage, such as Benedick claiming that if he were to be married they may ‘pluck off a bulls horns and set them in his forehead’ and Beatrice saying she ‘could not endure a husband,’ can be seen by the audience as Beatrice and Benedick covering up the feelings for each other which lay beneath their ‘merry war’ of conflict. However it can be argued that the relationship between Beatrice and Benedick is superficial due to its comedic element of gender reversal in Beatrice as women at the time did not have this attitude and mainly remained seen and not heard, any sort of banter from a woman was unexpected and misunderstood as shown by the Messenger taking Beatrice’s sarcasm literally when she refers to Benedick as ‘Signor Mountanto.’…

    The two differ from Claudio and Hero because they did not fall in love at first glance, they fell in love earlier in their past. We know this because in Act 1, Scene 1, Beatrice makes a remark saying, “I know you of old,” which is a hint that her and Benedick had a past. Due to the remarks that they made to each other we can assume that they did not end well. In Act 1, Scene 1, Benedick and Beatrice were in an argument and were throwing insults at each other. Some remarks between the two were when Benedick said to Beatrice, “God keep your Ladyship still in that mind, so some gentleman or other shall ’scape a predestinate scratched face” and Beatrice’s response, “Scratching could not make it worse an ’twere such a face as yours were” (I.I.115-120). Those two comments from Benedick and Beatrice about the other are just an example of their relationship, and it was no where ideal or perfect. they would called one another a “skirmish of wit” or “lady disdain.” Beatrice and Benedick showed a lot of hatred towards each other, but the one thing they did not show was affection, and both of them mocked the idea of…

    Benedick has probably had a lot of experience with women, only one of whom was Beatrice. He vehemently declares his intent to remain a bachelor and disparages Claudio for wanting to marry Hero, "Leonato's short daughter." He restates his disdain of love and marriage in a monologue alone on stage — even more likely to express his true feelings than his teasing comments to a companion he will lose through marriage. Throughout the early scenes, his exchanges with Beatrice create a feeling that he "doth protest too much" — that is, he really harbors at least affection for Beatrice.…

    Beatrice and Benedick, two main characters in the play who are confused about each other, always in denial. They both don’t believe in love, they think it is foolish and a waste of time. Right as they first made eye contact, they already start bumping heads. For example, Beatrice says, “A dear happiness to woman. They would...I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.” (1.1.126-130). Beatrice is stating that she doesn’t want no man loving her, she doesn’t believe a man can truly love her. That she rather…

    As can be seen, Benedick and Beatrice are the contrariety of each other, for Benedick is irrational in his decision making, while Beatrice is reasonable in hers, which furthers the love stories within the plot. For example, whenever Benedick overhears Claudio, Leonato, and Don Pedro talking about how much Beatrice loves him he immediately believes them. After Beatrice comes to ask him to come to dinner, he says to himself that what she said held a “double meaning” (Shakespeare 95) and that he…

    In this play, the reader can compare the two different couples and quickly realizes that Beatrice and Benedick take their time, don’t rush, and compared to Hero and Claudio it wasn’t love at first sight. Right from the beginning of the play, during their first conversation they try to use a type of language that hides the real feelings they have behind for eachtoher. " What my Lady Disdain! Are you yet living? " This quote is said by Benedick to Beatrice, when he comes back to Messina. They try to be very unpleasant to each other and act like they don't care, as they don't want to admit it to the other but to themselves as well. It’s not until the end of the play that Benedick and Beatrice share their feelings and tell each other that they are in love, which shows how they took their time, and really waited for the right moment to let everything go. " Do not you love me? " " Why no, no more than a reason." This quote shows that they still hide their real feelings from each other until the last minute,when they finally feel like it's time to deliver their feelings. Those words said by Benedick show the delivery of all this secret " A miracle! Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will…

    Well, this was signior Benedick that said so.”. (2.1.27-29) This quote is Beatrice acting as she does not know it is Benedick who is under that mask. It is debatable whether Beatrice knows that Benedick is the stranger behind the mask but if she does happen to know this then she is deceiving him to make a fool out of him. Of all of deception and trickery that runs through “Much Ado About Nothing” one of the most prominent is the love affair between Beatrice and Benedick. It starts of as “a merry war” that goes on with both Benedick and Beatrice denying the fact that they have romantic feelings towards each other. The signior Benedick and Beatrice first hide their love/feelings with each other. They have a love hate relationship in the beginning as Beatrice says, “What should I do with him? Dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman?” (2.1.34-35). Her meaning of this is that she has no interest in him only using him as a follower. This all changes with the help of being deceived by Hero, Ursula, Don Pedro, Claudio and Leonato lying telling Benedick and Beatrice are strongly in love with each other. With them thinking that the other is in love with them they start to show their true feelings towards each other on their…
