sarcasm almost is a kind of british tradition. they love and willingly to use elegant words to push the listeners to hang themselves. when the first time Benedick and Beatrice met, they almost use their each tongue to strangle each other. as audience, it's very enjoyable to see these quarrelsome and loving couple "fight" to each other. we would love to see benedick stood like a man at a mark with a whole army shooting at him. well, won't we?

benidick在花园中的独白很fun
I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviours to love, will, after he hath laughed at such shallow follies in others, become the argument of his own scorn by falling in love: and such a man is Claudio.

blahblah......

May I be so converted, and see with these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not: I will not be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster; but I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster of me, he shall never make me such a fool. One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel: of good discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall be of what colour it please God. Ha! the prince and Monsieur Love! I will hide me in the arbour.

Much Ado About Nothing quotes

  • Ursula: Madam!

    Benedick: Here comes one in haste.

    Ursula: You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home. It is proved my lady Hero hath been falsely accused, the prince and Claudio mightily abused and Don John is the author of all, who is fled and gone. Will you come, presently?

    Beatrice: Will you go hear this news, signior?

    Benedick: I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes, and moreover I will go with thee to thy uncle's.

    Beatrice: [laughs]

  • Leonato: Are you yet determined to marry with my brother's daughter?

    [Claudio nods]

    Leonato: Call her forth, brother. Here's the friar ready.

    [Four veiled ladies are presented]

    Claudio: Which is the lady I must seize upon?

    Antonio: [Brings forth one lady] This same is she and I do give you her.

    Claudio: Sweet, let me see your face.

    Leonato: No, that you shall not till you take her hand before this friar and swear to marry her.

    Claudio: [Kneels] Give me your hand, before this holy friar. I am your husband if you like of me.

    Hero: [Removes veil]

    Don Pedro: Hero that is dead.

    Leonato: She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived.

    Hero: And when I lived, I was your other wife. And when you loved you were my other husband. One Hero died defiled, but I do live and surely as I live, I am a maid.
