Paper 2 thoughts

I've been thinking about my own draft for project 2 and I have to tell you that, this was a very hard project shakespear is no easy work to decipher. Comparing a sonnet to the play having to put the words of the sonnet into a mouth of one of the characters was very hard.
1. My purpose was to show the contradictions of Benedict not jus that but how the sonnet I chose was related to his love speech about beatrice.
2. I feel that my writing was only seclusion for our lass because I did not give relative information about the entire play, I only gave enough information so that my class mates would know what I am talking about
3. 3 rhetorical moves
I. Sonnet 1 how Benedick can relate his love speech
II. When benedick needs fuel for his love sonnet one describes love as a flame needing fuel
III. Benedick NASA hunger for love from a child as the sonnet says love is a hunger that can cause famine

4. I was a bit repetitious with the concept of love and benedicks speech about Beatrice

5. I think I Should try to relate more of the situation in the play to Benedict's speech because of almost the vague or repetitious behavior I had when writing this paper drafting

Act 3 questions

1. Why would claudio John don and Pedro fool Benedict with the love story about Beatrice liking him?
2. Did claudio John don and Pedro know Benedict and Beatrice would fall in love after tricking them both?
3. Why would Benedict change his mind so suddenly to liking Beatrice when right when the play starts off he is shot down by her rude remarks?
4. Why did Beatrice change her mind on love about Benedict once she was tricked as well by her sisters?
5. Knowing Beatrice loves him now, according to leonato John don and claudio, why did she change her mind for Benedict?
6. Why would claudio and leonato just believe what they thought they saw his wife to be mistressing around with another man? Why not confront her in the act?

Poor claudio

Claudio fell in love with the strike of cupids arrow, supposedly. When he heard his friends taking about Beatrice how she adored, and loved him, he was filled with a level headed arrogance, a love stricken notion set into mind. Once he heard all the remarks over his shoulder by his friends how she thrived for him, he began to fall in love. Once his friends sent her to call him for dinner he fell in love.

Leonato and his daughter

Leonato at his daughters wedding finds out through her husband to be that him and his fellow brothers have caught her in the act of cheating the night prior to her wedding. As they are about to marry, claudio disowns Leonardo's daughter, and puts her on the spot, along with his brothers as to why she had taken part in such a debauchery the night before they were to marry. Claudio storms out with his brothers and friends leading Leonato to disown his daughter. As he slaps her and. Disowns her she is in shock to the total situation not knowing what any one is talking about. The action taken is completely normal to be friends with the man who is supposed to marry your daughter and then find out that she supposedly slept with another man the night prior. To react like this is a but harsh but this is totally justifiable to have complete trust in someone and then find out they have taken it away by committing such a haines act of adultery.

Sonnet 8


Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'

The sonnet describes ones self interest in music and life. I think it has to do with someone being upset. If you hear such joyful music why are you still upset? You act as if you are annoyed by the music and your ears are so offended. Each string resembles the beauty of family yet being single proves nothing which this person will wind up because they are obviously so cold

Shakespear sonnets

Beatrice " I would rather hear a dog bark at a crow than a man swear he love me"
One minute response to this.
I think Beatrice may have been effected by men in her past in a negative way leading up to her rude and bitter comment. She sounds awfully cold as if she does not want to do anything with men, especially their love which she denies
