Benedick and Beatrices Love in Much Ado About Nothing Essay -- Much A

Entry 1 Act I Don Pedro and his men return from the war and visit the house of Leonato and his brother, Antonio. This fulminant meeting reunites Beatrice with her archrival, Benedick, and it is here that Claudio and Hero fall in love.ReactIn Shakespeares Much Ado about Nothing, there are the usual characters that denominate up in most of Shakespeares pieces. For instance the characters Hero and Claudio could easily be compared to Romeo and Juliet. Both Hero and Juliet are innocent, quite, and beautiful young women who fall in love instantly without conversing with the other person. Likewise, Claudio and Romeo decide to marry these women within twenty-four hours. Because of these characters lack of unique and interesting qualities, I am intrigued by Beatrice.Beatrice is by farthest the best character Shakespeare created because of how effortlessly she lightens the mood. Beatrice is gifted with wit, humor, and strength uncommon in Shakespeares time. One can tell Beatrices drollness is at its best when mouth about or to Benedick. When Benedick greets her as Lady Disdain (I.i.109), she snaps, Is it possible disdain should die, while she hath such meet food to feed it as signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence (I.i.110-113). Instead of taking offense, she welcomes the name and essentially tells Benedick that she acts contemptuous only because shes talking to him. She adds that shes agreeable with everyone, with him as an exception. Benedick retorts that shes lucky that she doesnt love him like all the other women he knows, because he loves no one especially not her. Beatrice responds, A dear happiness to women, they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. ... ...r its Hero and twain the couples are jubilantly married.CreateThe painting that I created is an abstract depiction of fire. Benedick and Beatrices love is like fire because it cant be tamed or put out. They both try to hide the kindling of their affection for each other to no avail. Even after they initially confessed to each other they both tried to douse their feelings and completely denied ever having loved the other. Despite this, their friends revealed their secret letters and the flames rekindled burning fiercer and brighter than ever before. Therefore they can only let it mother with fiery passion and succumb to their emotions and get married just like their friends planned.Works CitedShakespeare, William. Much Ado about Nothing. Ed.
