  • Essay / Analysis of an ideal couple - 1199

    When they first saw each other, they fell in love. Claudio explains to Bendick how he feels about Hero when he tells him: "I should hardly have confidence in myself, even if I had sworn to the contrary, if Hero were my wife" (1.1.191-192). Claudio explains to Signior Benedick that Hero is a very good lady. In the quote he is having a conversation with Signior Benedick. Claudio says he swore he wouldn't marry either until he saw Hero. He asks Signior Benedick what he thinks of her and Signior Benedick says that she is very "unbeautiful" and that he does not like her. Claudio appears to be hopelessly in love with her when he tells Signor Benedick: "In my eyes she is the sweetest lady that I ever saw" (1.1.183.184). In this quote, Claudio explains to Signior Benedick how he thinks Hero, in his eyes, is the sweetest woman he has ever looked at. He relates this to Signior Benedick when he tells Claudio that he does not see what Claudio sees in her. In my opinion, Beatrice and Benedick have a much more satisfying relationship than Hero and Claudio because they don't just meet and get butterflies for each other, they argue, but in In the end, they love each other. Their attitude towards love is much more understandable because they want to live there and not be married to one person for the rest of their lives.
