3.Much ado about nothing in my opinion is William Shakespeare’s best comedy . The play has many interesting characters; especially Benedick and Beatrice . these two provide a great portion of humor in this particular play . Beatrice and Benedick are alike in many ways , as well as very different .
Both of these characters have so called “wooing” the opposite sex . Benedick is a will full warrior that just got out of war and says that he will never marry . He says “ I may chance have some odd quirks and remains of wit broken on me , because I have rail’d so long against marriage .” Although by this point , Benedick is changing his mind about marriage , this still emphasizes his previous views on women and marriage . Beatrice also feels the same way that Benedick does about marriage . She seems as if she is more open to marriage than Benedick , but has given up because she has been unable to "woo"
the man of her choice .Beatrice says, “ I thank god and my cold blood , I am your humor for that: I rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swears he loves me”.( act 1.i. 95-98). I think that she only says this to match wits with Benedick .
Beatrice the leading lady , the Benedick the leading man , are very much in love , but they are also in complete denial of this passion . Eventually they openly expresses their amorous feelings for each other.
Benedick thinks he hates Beatrice but really loves her and Beatrice who thinks she hates Benedick but really loves him!.The witty insults that they threw on each other constantly were a result of their past relationship.

Tenzing--what question were you answering in this entry?
I ask because it reads like a summary of the characters, and there were no questions asking for that.
