Hero & Ursula

Benedick & Don John

Leonato & Don Pedro

Margaret & Borachio

Shaving his beard

Wearing perfume

Washing his face

Pressing and ironing his clothing

Hero dancing with another soldier

Hero’s infidelity with another man, seen through her chamber bedroom window

Hero sneaking out to another man’s house

Hero begging her father to call off the wedding

Abandon the town of Messina

Start a war on Leonato's house

Publicly shame Hero at her wedding

Murder all of the maidens

Comedic effect

Intellectual dialogue

Parallelism

To arrest and prosecute any villains.

They are babbling incoherently and Leonato has grown impatient

They tell the truth, but Leonato doesn’t believe them

They request that Leonato joins them at the jail, but Leonato is in a hurry

They ask if Leonato has another horse, for theirs have broken their legs

I want somebody to speak up for me.

I want somebody to speak up for Hero.

I want someone to kill me.

I want someone to kill Hero.
