Lesson 4 R.Q. 2,3,9

R.Q. 2
I think when Benedick challenges Claudio to a dual it shows that he is a honorable man, and that he thinks that Claudio overacted and that he shouldn't have shamed Hero public.

R.Q. 3
I would say that Claudio has some remorse for what he did to Hero, after he hears of her innocence. However I don't think he felts as remorseful as he should have. If you consider that Claudio thought Hero was dead at the time he discovered her innocence then you should conclude that Claudio did not give a satisfactory confession.

R.Q. 9
It is important for Claudio to take his wedding vows before he sees the bride so that he can show that he is marrying whoever Leonato and Antonio want him to.

Lesson 3 Review Q. 4,5 Thought Q. 9

R.Q. 4
Claudio is violently angry at Hero because he thought, in good faith that she was pure.  However after the night before when he thought he saw he cheating on him he probably felt betrayed and scammed.

R.Q. 5
I think that Claudio was not angry with Hero's supposed lover because he probably didn't see him to be at fault. He did see Hero to be at fault because he saw her to be prostituting her self.  I think this shows that Claudio loves her as an object, if its blemished he no longer  loves it.

T.Q. 9
Beatrice is not another Lady Macbeth because she is not a deranged psychopath.  The only similarity is that they both wanted some one to kill an individual.  Beatrice asked Benedick to kill Claudio because he had attacked Hero's honor and assaulted her physically.  When Lady Macbeth told Macbeth to kill Duncan it was solely for selfish personal gain. 

Much Ado About Nothing: L2 TQ8

In (3.2.1-4) Don Pedro tells Claudio that he will be leaving to go to Aragon after Claudio's wedding.  Claudio is quick to say that he wants to go with Don Pedro, leaving his new wife.  However Don Pedro tells him that he must stay with his wife.  Because of how Claudio acted in that scene I conclude that Claudio may love Hero, but he loves her more as an object and not a person.

Much Ado About Nothing: L1, TQ4

In (1.1.121-151) we see the first argument between Benedick and Beatrice.  In mine own/No Fear Shakespeare's words it went something like this.  Benedick-(talking about Hero) If Leonato is her father im sure she would not want her face to look like his.  Beatrice-I amazed you are still talking. No one is listening to you.  Benedick- Oh look its my dear Lady Disdain.  Aren't you dead yet.  Beatrice- How could disdain die when you are here.  When you are around even lady courtesy turns into lady disdain.  Benedick- That makes lady courtesy a traitor. All women except you love me.  And its to I have no heart and love no one. Beatrice- That's a good thing for women. Or ells they would troubled with a nasty suitor. I thank God I do not need love. I would rather hear my dog bark at a crow than hear a man say he loves me.  Benedick- I hope you keep feeling that way or ells some poor man will get his face scratched up. Beatrice- If he had a face like yours a good scratching wouldn't make it worse. Benedick- Well you are teaching me like a parrot. Beatrice- I would rather be a squawking bird than a beast like you. Benedick- I wish my horse was as fast and tireless as your mouth, enough I'm done arguing. Beatrice- You always slip out of arguments like this. I know that from old times.
