Description

For replies, please choose another student’s post and respond as a DIFFERENT character. So, if the original post is Beatrice, you could respond as Hero, for example. If it’s a letter, you can respond to it. If it’s a diary entry, pretend you have found the diary entry and write a response. Perhaps while Claudio interpreted events one way, you as Dogberry will interpret them another way. You are free to take on different characters in the responses than you chose for your original post. 1. [Journal Entry by Benedick] I was seated in the garden earlier today, pondering what it is that might make me more desirable, more suitable for love, before my thoughts were interrupted by footsteps. I don’t think I would like to undergo any of those changes that it seems most men fall into when they are in love. “I have known when there was no music with him but the drum and the fife, and now had he rather hear the tabor and the pipe; I have known when he would have walked ten mile afoot to see a good armor, and now will he lie ten nights awake carving the fashion of a new doublet. He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest man and a soldier, and now is he turned orthography; his words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many strange dishes. May I be so converted and see with these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not.” (2.3.13-23) That is so, that I only see the negative aspects of love. How could anyone not? I digress. The footsteps were those of Don Pedro, Claudio, Leonato and Balthasar. I do not think they saw me run and hide, which would be reason enough for their loud conversation. Do they really believe they are so suitable as to make any girl swoon? How horrendous. But the most interesting part of their conversation was the revelation that Beatrice has her eye on me. Could it be true? I believe that I am higher than the foolish act of love, but I would be doing greater harm if I were to not play along and please her. It is not that I am in love, I could not be, but perhaps I could be doing her a favor. I suppose only time will tell, but I must find out if this is true. I will record an update on the situation once I seek out more information. 2. Beatrice : Dear Claudio, I hope everything is well for you. Although it is not a hot winter, due to some words of the priest, I and the plague-like guy are now tied together. Fortunately, we get along very well, and I don’t think I will become because of contact with him. go Ape. It’s interesting. I used to ridicule that you need to prepare a thousand pounds to get rid of him because you have a close relationship with him. I mean Benedick. Earlier I laughed at him for only 5 points of talent and need to retain 1 point of talent to let others see the difference between him and his horse, because he can be called the only evidence of a rational animal. You were indeed a good person before, because only you are willing to accompany someone who is always changing like the style of a hat. Congressman Claudio, maybe Benedick said something bad about me before you, I think maybe in his mouth I am like a short, grumpy little girl, I can believe that he will neither praise I will not praise me. But at that time, we always thought that you were a good and friendly person, but the facts have proved that you may be very brave to kill the enemy, but in love, you are a villain. Of course, I hope I can keep secrets like a dumb, so that you don’t think I am a liar. Hero is a good girl, but at the same time she has no social experience. My father taught her to be a lady. Contrary to me, she seems to be doing well. She is weak and fragile. We often do not discover the benefits of a thing when we enjoy it, but when we lose it, we exaggerate its value. Hero is full of life, pure and beautiful, but whether it is before or after, it is inevitable in a love-your cherishment and appreciation of hero, you do not have any, I can only worry about the future destiny of my good sister. I hope that when my sister’s trauma is healed, you will grow and change. Maybe you will be good at all, but I know it’s not now.
