Q1. "The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull's horns and set them in my forehead, and let me be vilely painted, and in such great letters as they write 'Here is good horse to hire' let them signify under my sign 'Here you may see Benedick, the married man".(I.i215-219) Explain the dramatic significance and what it means.
A1 The dramtic significance of this quote is Benedick claiming that he will not get married and being arrogant with it because later down in the play he will contradict himself and get married. It means that he was just being nieve and arrongant to say that he will never get married because there is no woman enough to make him trust them to fall in love to get married.
Q2. "What should I do with him - dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman? He that hath no beard is less than a man; and he that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him."(II.i 28-32) who is the speaker? What is the dramatic significance? And my interpretation.
A2. The speaker is Beatrice. The dramatic significance is that Beatrice like Benedick is also claiming that she will not get married and will contradict herself also. My interpretation of the quote is that she is basically saying there is no man made to suit her and if he is indeed made he is either too young or too old for her and for that sake she will stay single until she dies. And also i think she is saying that she was not made to be married so she will not be.
EXCELLENT
