Much Ado About Nothing Illuminator, Period 3
Wow, this has to be the most exiting play I have ever read. Act three has shown to be the climax of this play. We have read of scandals, love, and hate. So far this has to be the best act. Do you guys agree with me on this?
“O god of love! I know he doth deserve as much as may be yielded to a man: But Nature never framed a woman’s heart of prouder stuff than that of Beatrice; Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, misprising what they look on, and her wit values itself so highly that to her all mater else seems weak: she can not love, nor take no shape nor project of affection, she is so self-endeared.” (Act 3 , scene 1) This is said by Hero to Ursula. I picked this quote because it shows the plan to get Benedick and Beatrice together in action. If this plan works these two characters could change completely. In this quote Hero is trying to explain that Beatrice is not able to love anybody, especially Benedick. This whole conversation is happening because they want Beatrice to think that Benedick loves her. When actually he only loves her because he thinks she likes him, which she doesn’t. Beatrice is hiding behind the trees while they are talking and thinks she heard something she shouldn’t have. Than when Hero and Ursula leave Beatrice says that she must showing scorn to Benedick and start to love him. From all this we learn that everything in Hero’s plan is working. First the boys got Benedick to think Beatrice loves him, and than the same with Beatrice. This will have to lead to love between these two. They already have said to themselves that they love each other. Do believe these two will come out with their feelings about each other? Why or why not?
Also, Just for conversation what was your guys favorite part of the play so far? Mine would have to be this part right hear. I like the fact that Hero is using trickery to bring out Beatrice’s true feelings.

Sure, Julian, this has been the best act so far…ha-ha.
.
Eventually, probably act 4, these two love bird will confess their love to each other because peer guidance/pressure has helped them gain confidence and prepare them for this moment.
My favorite part so far was the street scene with Dogberry and Verges; they are two funny guys

Actually, I think that Act 4 will be the best, because mostly everything is going to play out then. We will see, hopefully, what happens at the wedding and if anything changes with Beatrice and Benedick.
I do believe that Beatrice and Benedick will come out with their feelings for each other. Neither of them will know, though, that the others had lied. I’m not sure how this will play out and I’m not sure if this is good or not…
My favorite part so far… hmm, ha ha… I’m not quite sure what it would be. I’m thinking that my favorite part in the entire story is going to take place in a later act, because that’s when all the shocking moments are going to be. So far I find it interesting that Don Pedro and Leonato are believing Don John and his scandal. Also I enjoy the trickery that the men and women are using to trick Beatrice and Benedick. Again I think the most action will be in acts 4 and 5.

I like act 1 because it was like little kids arguing. I thought it was quite funny. Act 4 has some good parts but to much love and no comedy.
Yes, I feel it will happen because this is going to be a fairy book ending. That is what I predict.
My favorite part was the ball. How do you not know it was Claudio. That guy was nice (Prince Pedro), but I feel that it was not right. It seems that partys are always in Shakespeares plays, and I like partys=)
