First Exchange between Beatrice and Benedick being Greeted with Delight

The first exchange amongst Beatrice and benedict is always greeted with delight in the study? Explain why this is so.Act one scene one of Much Ado A fight Nothing is always greeted with delight in the theatre for more reasons. It begins when Don Pedro and company enter a golden world in Messina where the women are already located. In this situation, people fail to take things seriously, causing the contend of swords to soon turn into a war of words. Benedick and Beatrice are the main examples of male/female rivalry that converts into belligerent wordplay. The scene is greeted with delight because it is the first contact between Beatrice and Benedick and Leonato has already explained the situation between them, stimulating the audience with the want to know more about the relationship between them. ?There is a kind of merry war betwixt Signor Benedick and her they never meet but there?s a skirmish of wit between them.? Leonato explains the relationship between Beatrice and Bened ick to the messenger. We also already know what Beatrice thinks of Benedict from her first line in the play whereupon she asks ?I pray you is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?? Here she makes a joke about Benedick?s arrogance as Signior Mountanto can be translated as Signior Stuck up. merely there may be more to this than meets the eye, it is obvious that she cares about him early(a)wise she would not have asked but the covers this up with a snide comment bout the ego of Benedick. Here the audience has already established that both Beatrice?s verbal wit and dexterity and her apparent disdain for Benedick and what might be seen as her attempt to mask her true feelings and this is greeted with delight in the theatre.The clash of wit between ... ...and mistrust. He is grateful for his mother, but plans to have no other women in his life. Like Beatrice, by insulting the female gender, he is proclaiming the male gender as supreme.From this we see that Beatrice and Bened ick are actu in ally very similar. some(prenominal) believe that they are joyous and pleasing, for example Benedick states ?I am merry? and is described as ?from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth?. Beatrice also states that she was ?born to speak all mirth and no matter? and is described as ?a pleasant spirited lady?. Beatrice and Benedick are also similar because of their desire to stay single. We see this in the comments, ?I will live a bachelor? by Benedick and ?She cannot stand up to hear tell of a husband? by Leonato about Beatrice. This shows Shakespeare?s dramatic irony as they end up falling in sleep together with each other at the end.
