I saw him not. It would be excellent if they could make a man halfway between Don John and Benedick. Signor Benedick Signor Benedick, who refuses to reveal his true identity, exchanges japes with Beatrice at the masquerade. Benedick wonders if he will ever change his mind about love and marriage, and concludes that it is more likely that he will turn into an oyster.
Why, then, your visor should be thatched. Speak low if you speak love. If you wish to speak of love, speak more softly. Soon after they meet in Messina, Claudio professes his love for Hero. He swears he will never marry, as he is very critical of women and does not trust any of them not to cheat on him.
He seems to oppose with Beatrice in a competition to outwit, outsmart, and out-insult each other. Hero fears that Beatrice will die because of her unrequited love for Benedick.
Benedick declares that he will be horribly in love with Beatrice. Benedick then asks Leonato for permission to marry Beatrice at the same wedding ceremony. Leonato agrees to the marriage. Claudio and Don Pedro arrive and are greeted.
He is delighted at the second marriage to unveil his new wife and find she is actually his beloved Hero. Shakespeare often used plots and storylines from other writers and re-wrote his own versions. It's a bit like the practice of turning a novel into a film today.
In this version of the tale, Timbreo is tricked into thinking his wife has been unfaithful to him. Where Shakespeare has Hero faint, Bandello's story sees his leading lady fall into a death-like coma.
Her father holds a funeral for her. Later Timbreo discovers the truth and in a gesture of repentance he marries Fenicia's sister, who, of course, turns out to be Fenicia herself. What do we learn about Claudio from his dialogue with Benedick? Thou thinkest I am in sport: I pray thee tell me. Would you buy her, that you inquire after her?
