THE SILENT HERO SPEAKS

(Hero is in nunnery):

Its already been a couple of weeks here in nunnery ,i cant believe what happened to me just few weeks before . It was such a nice moment when we were about to get married , my hearts were full of joy , I thought my dream was coming true , a dream to spend my entire life with Lord Claudio . But It all vanished in a moment when Claudio accused me of being unfaithful towards him.I thought nothing could go wrong on the wedding day as Claudio had always been nice and loving to me.Suddenly i was in a shock when he accused me in front of everyone calling me a whore .

I was confused and did not believe when he called me a "rotten orange",a man who had so much cared and caressed me was now cursing me . Claudio may had been influenced by Don John .I never did any wrong to him , why he had to ruin my life like this ?.All these questions are unanswered to me right now but i want to know why this happened to me. Behind this Don John must be the one to plot against us like this .He must have been jealous of Claudio and his happiness.It is so easy to accuse a women without any evidence . Why is it always women that has to suffer everytime ?.

my greatest worry beside all this is i disgraced my father's name .what he must be doing right now ? may be he is sad .i hope Beatrice and Antonio is there to console him. an old man had to go under such a rough time because of me .wish i could do something for him.Oh Lord!

I am very thankful to Friar Francis who helped us in such a harsh moment .All I can do is wait for the day when i will be able prove everybody wrong and earn back the respect of my father .I feel i am still living in dream but every dream has to end and face the reality.

BLOG 2.

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.

Shakespeare and his times

1. In this play Shakespeare is an ordinary man , he writes and acts his own play . He dress up is quite simple like other common people around those times.He has lot of companions but of them all he was close to Christopher Marlowe . He writes his own play and has lots of other co-actors . he falls in love with a lady named as Lady De Lesseps . She is the Princess and has a high rank in the society. She loves acting and above all she loves Shakespeare and his writing .Shakespeare is quite respected by the commoners because he writes plays for other people and the Queen loved watching plays .

Later the Princess founds out that he is married , he tries to face the truth and confesses her everything but still their love did not fade away instead they started having more feelings toward each other.

The Princess was ready to get married with Lord Wessex , nothing could be done by William Shakespeare . Lady of Lesseps thinks that the Queen will never allow her to marry an ordinary play writer. Shakespeare loved her truly and was ready to take her as a wife.

He wants to love her unconditionally but the society was between them . He thinks nothing could be compared greater than love .
