Benedick and Beatrice

Two quotations that illustrate key aspects of Benedick and Beatrice’s loving relationship.

Key line

Key line

  • BENEDICK: I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes, and, moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle’s.
Hyperbole

Hyperbole

  • In a style perhaps more often utilised by Shakespeare when writing Claudio’s character, Benedick speaks hyperbolically here, in the language of the conventional 16th century lover.
Agreement

Agreement

  • However, his assertion ends with a much more down-to-earth request: Beatrice has asked him to accompany her to Leonato’s to discover what is to happen now Don John’s villainy has been uncovered.
  • Happy and content in his love, he acquiesces (agrees) to Beatrice’s request, just as he (reluctantly) agreed to challenge Claudio.
