| Question | Answer |
| " signor Montanto" | Beatrice uses an innuendo to make fun of Benedick. for women to speak like that in Shakespearean society is unacceptable and not ladylike. |
| ".. the gentlemen is not in your books. No, an he was I would burn my study" | Beatrice is making fun of Benedick again which would of been seen unladylike. |
| "God kee your ladyship in mind" | this shows the theme of gender roles and that woman back in Shakespearean times were limited to what they could do and what they can say and how they can act. |
| ".. a rare parrot-teacher. a bird of my tongue is better than a beast of yours" | An extended metaphor. Fits the comedy theme |
| "my horse had the speed of your tongue... end with a jade's trick." | another extended metaphor |
| "I noted her not" | this shows that benedick does not care much about women |
| "would you buy her..?" | this shows how men in Shakespearean times degraded women as though they are items to be bought. gender role theme |
| ".. but he will wear his cap in suspicion?" | Benedick has a very bad view on marriage as he thinks all women would cheat and that's why men would need to wear a cap to hid the horns of a cuckold, a man with an unfaithful wife. |
| "the prince discovered... that he loved my niece" | dramatic irony is used for comedy. the audience knows that this was misheard but not the characters. |
| "Why are you...sad?" | he is irritated.. this shows that he may be the antagonist |
| "mortifying mischief" | one reason why he is "sad" is because he lost the war against his brother, mortifying mischief means shameful disgrace. |
| "it better fits my blood to be disdained" | as he is an illegitimate brother he is saying that it better fits him to act badly as people on Shakespearean times used to hate and look down upon those born out of illegitimate births. |
| "I am trusted with a muzzle" | he isn't trusted and is looked down upon because he is an illegitimate brother to the prince and therefore he feels untrusted. |
| " if I had liberty I would do my liking" | it shows that he feels trapped within the society he is in. |
| "who, the most exquisite Claudio?" | this shows he does not like Claudio for he sarcastically says most exquisite. |
| "any model to build mischief?" | this proves that he is an antagonist as he wants to cause trouble between the characters |
| " my cousin's duty ... to say yes father as you please" | this shows that Shakespeare represented Beatrice as a woman who speaks her mind and voices er opinion, unlike her cousin who listens to whatever her "father" asks her to do.this would shock and may even annoy the Shakespearean audience.She is a strong woman |
| 2 he is the prince's jester, a very dull fool" | dramatic irony is used here for Beatrice and the audience knows she is talking to benedick but she pretends not to know and makes fun of him. |
| "farewell, therefore, Hero... I wish him joy to her" | this shows that he doesn't care that much about her and that his feeling or her goes that easily. |
| "The prince's fool! ha" | benedick is hurt that Beatrice said such things and is hurt that she didn't recognise him...even though she did. |
| "She speaks poniards and every word stabs" | that means she speaks daggers which shows that what she said must have offended him |
| "civil as an orange" | civil is a pun for Seville which is famous for their oranges and that reminds the reader of bitter...which means the oranges could represent Claudio's jealousy. jealous that the prince took hero for himself |
| "shall marry the daughter" | degrading of Hero ...shows gender roles and how women weren't important. wouldn't say her name |
| " I am sick in displeasure to him" | very negative- represents his character.. as in he is a negative character. emotive language |
| "any bar, any cross, any impediment" | repetition for emphasis. shows how annoyed and how desperate he is to do bad... |
| Beatrice knows him 'of old' | this shows that |
| he will 'trust none' | he will 'trust none' |
| She 'can not endure to hear tell of a husband' | She says she will not marry |
| He tells his friends to 'hang me in a bottle like a cat and shoot at me' if he ever marries | Benedick says he will not marry |
