I think they will be together, because when they set up Benedick he becomes happy from the fake news. Also when two people make fun of eachother, usually they like eachother in the end.

This book does have its ups and downs, but it is enjoyable and pretty funny. I like the way how they make fun of eachother by names, and they are having these mixed identites. I’m anxious to see what will happen next.

Anyway, I do not really care for Beatrice. She doesn’t really bother me as a character, but she seems to get in the way a lot. All she does is complain, which is probably annoying to the other characters.

Also I agree that Beatrice likes Benedick. She always talks and complains about him. I think that this is Beatrice’s way of flirting, since she seems like a mannerless and independant person. When we were younger, people always used to say that we would be mean to the people we had crushes on. That could be what is going on in this story.

Lastly yes, this story isn’t too bad. It is somewhat interesting to try to figure out what will happen in the end– a lot more interesting than the Odyssey!…
And yeah you would be in ISS, Julian. Was your mom mad?

In Athens, a group of people practice for the wedding, playing music. They discuss a song that has meaning that they will play at the wedding. They assign the parts of the ensamble. Bottom interrupts saying he should be the one assigning the parts. Quince convinces him that his part is good for him. He says that the lion’s part is very hard to learn anyway. Quince once again has to convince Bottom that he cannot play the lion. This whole scene is based on planning the music for the wedding.
