Today’s Totally Random
Lines
I hear how I am censured: they say I will
bear myself proudly, if I perceive the love come from her; they say too that she will rather die than give any
sign of affection.
Benedick
Much Ado About Nothing Act II, Scene iii, Line 227
Benedick has just been eavesdropping on Leonato, Claudio, and Don Pedro. However, these three know that Benedick is listening to them, and they are playing a trick on him. They are talking about how much Beatrice has been professing her love for Benedick (she has not), in an attempt to trick Benedick into pursuing Beatrice.
Now, in Today’s
Lines Benedick is talking to himself about what he has just overheard. It’s a
fact that Beatrice and Benedick are fond of each other, but neither has wanted
to admit it and they both show their fondness by verbally sparring with each
other. But after hearing these guys talk Benedick has decided to pursue Beatrice.
As he ends his self discussion he sees Beatrice approaching. Here are the last
lines of his talk with himself,
When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.—Here comes Beatrice. By this day, she’s a fair lady: I do spy some marks of love in her.
And here we go.
That's it; that's the spot. Right there; don't stop.
Well, what do you think, Mojo; will Benedick and Beatrice end up together?
Benedick and Beatrice who?
