The character that I have chosen and relates to me the most is Beatrice. Beatrice is the niece of Leonato, a wealthy governor of Messina. Though she is close friends with her cousin Hero, Leonato’s daughter, the two could not be less alike. Beatrice is feisty, cynical, witty, and sharp and is famously known to be the play's witty heroine. She is mainly noted for her firm opposition to marriage, confessing to the fact that she will never get married. She is also famous for her verbal dueling with Benedick, as seen in the film; they almost bite each other’s tongue off so much that it is almost impossible to get any worse. Overall, Beatrice is a prime example of one of Shakespeare’s strong female characters.

Don’t know what to say for the quotes... =(

Beatrice interacts the most with Benedick within the play. They are both main characters of the play. As clearly seen, from the first day they met, they had already started bickering about each other. This shows how much talking they did to each other. Eventually, as classical as any other stories, poems, movies and plays could get --- Haters usually turn to become lovers like Beatrice and Benedick was like. They only started to develop their love and affectionate for each other after Don Pedro’s plan of sending Ursula, Hero, Claudio, Leonato and himself to trick both of the B’s thinking that they both actually love each other, except they don’t admit it at all due to their scornfulness. Their love for each other strengthened from the event of Hero losing her innocence, because Beatrice and Benedick strongly believed that Hero would definitely have not done such a disgusting thing. This lead to both Beatrice and Benedick to be determined to find the real truth and along the journey they both fell in true love with each other.

Beatrice is definitely the character that relates to me the most. Firstly, I oppose extremely to marriage and me myself would never ever think about getting married or even want to get married, unless I find the world’s most perfect man. (Which will never ever happen...) Also, Beatrice is such a witty, funny and also scornful person which fully describes me. Some people may not see me this way because I don’t act like that in front of them, but most people that know me very well would know the huge relation I have with Beatrice’s personality. I do not like admitting to some kinds of embarrassing that stuff that I have previously not wanted to do / have. (E.g. Like Beatrice not wanting to admit that she loves Benedick until the very end of the play.) Also, if something really nasty happens, my mind never stops and thinks carefully, all that happens in my brain is: Kill this and that stupid person! They did this to ME, HER OR WHOEVER...!!! So as an overall, I relate to Beatrice the most, kind of like a “unladylike, strong women.”
