In Much Ado About Nothing, most of the characters had interesting relationships
with each other. For example, Hero and Claudio, were deeply in love. Also, Don
Juan, and Don John were fighting with each other. Another example was the close
friendship between Bene*censored*, Claudio, and Don Juan. But the relationship
between Bene*censored* and Beatrice was different than the others. In their
relationship, they hated each other, that brought them together. Their
personalities were so similar, that it made them argue and bicker about every
little thing, but the similarities in their personalities is also what brought
them together. Bene*censored* was a smart, good-looking, and funny guy. He was
very witty, and always had a response to anyone's comments. For example, when he
was talking to Beatrice, he always had a comment to finish of the conversation.
He also didn't like the idea of marriage. Bene*censored* thought that marriage
led to the trapping of men. When he heard about Claudio getting married, Bene*censored*
thought that Claudio was crazy, because Bene*censored* felt that marriage was
going to change the way Claudio lived, and not for the better. Bene*censored*
was also very stubborn. He never wanted to give into other people's ideas, and
that was why he didn't want to give into the idea that marriage could be a good
thing in a person's life. Beatrice was a character very similar to Bene*censored*.
She was a very independent person, and didn't want to rely on anyone for
support. She also was very smart. She enjoyed reading poetry, and thought about
things a lot. She also was against marriage. During one conversation, she even
said that she would rather die than get married. Another characteristic of
Beatrice was that she was very emotional. She often changed her mood all of a
sudden for no apparent reason. Also, Beatrice kept many of her feelings inside
her. Sometimes she would be angry but wouldn't show it, because she always had
to feel strong, and look like she didn't need anyone. The traits and
characteristics of Beatrice and Bene*censored* were what brought them together,
and also what separated them. Beatrice and Bene*censored* were separated
because, they always thought that they had to be independent, and not need each
other. Another factor that kept them from coming together was that they always
fought with each other. In trying to seem strong, they were actually fighting
with each other, and hurting each other's feelings. The final thing that kept
Bene*censored* and Beatrice from coming together was that they both thought that
marriage was a stupid institution. If neither of them wanted to get married, it
would be very hard for them to have a relationship. Some factors brought Bene*censored*
and Beatrice together though. First, they never got bored of each other. Because
they disagreed on many issues, and were both able to argue well, Secondly, Bene*censored*
and Beatrice had very similar personalities. They both were strong and
independent. They both were against marriage, and both were happier alone, or so
they thought. Finally Bene*censored* and Beatrice needed each other. They would
be bored and somewhat lonely if they didn't have each other around, even if they
were arguing. Bene*censored* and Beatrice both had very strong personalities,
and for a while it kept them from coming together. Both of them were
independent, and thought that marriage was for the birds. But really both of
them were lonely, but hiding it in order to look strong, and eventually with a
little help, they realized that love and marriage were a great thing. Also, they
both were so similar that they were the perfect match but didn't want to admit
it, and when they finally did they were much happier.
