Claudio

What do you think of Claudio so far? What do his actions say about the kind of person he is?

What I think of Claudio so far  is that he is a gullible person. He can be told one this and straight thinks its true without verifying. His actions say that he won't do much to look deeper in the situation. Like the situation that happened with Hero when they lied to him about being with another person. These are some reasons why I think Claudio is such a gullible person.

Benedrick and Beatrice

What do you think of Benedick? Of Beatrice? How are they similar so far? Different? Is there anything about him/her that seems contradictory? (For  example: Beatrice says she likes ice cream and then refuses to eat any at dinner.)

I think Benedick is a man who got hurt in his past and is scared to love again. Beatrice is cruel and mean and don't at all like the idea of marriage. They are similar because they both don't like the idea of marriage. They different from each other because Beatrice is mean and Benedick is not mean but still doesn't like the idea of marriage. What seems contradictory about them is Benedick called Beatrice my lady. Which is contradicting because he says that he doesn't love marriage nor have a lady.

Beatrice

Select three of the quotations from the worksheet we completed on Tuesday about Beatrice's views of marriage, write them down, and explain what they show us about how she feels about marriage. How much of this might be because of an experience with Benedick? How does her feelings relate to the theme of people often wearing masks to disguise their true feelings?

“Not till God make men of some other metal than

earth.”

“Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face.(25)

I had rather lie in the woollen!”

“What should I do with him? dress him in my

apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman?"

Each of these quotes show that Beatrice does not have no interest in man. These quotes can be a pass experience that happened with Benedick. She feels hurtful towards them and think they don't have much worth. This relates to her because she have had to have a pass relationship. So at some point in her life she did believe in love but because of a pass experience she has to put up a front on now. So she has to fake how she really feels now about love so she won't get hurt again.

Ideas

I think they don't like each other because they have to many things in common. Or even so they had a past relationship with one another something went wrong and now they can't stand each other. So now every time they see each other they have to get at one another saying bad comments.
