leonato and hero quotation Flashcards
Oh god of love! i know he doth deserve, as many as may be yield to a man. ….
this is one of the longest periods of time she speaks
this is interesting as it is a time when she is the highest person in power (there are no men around) the supposed only person with her is ursula
is my lord well, that he doth speak so wide
even while claudio is accusing hero and public humiliating her she is still worried for his well being.
sweet prince why speak not you?
leonato completely ignores his daughter and speaks to the men.
is it not hero who can blot that name with any reproach
i talked with no man at that hour, my lord
do not live, hero do not ope thine eye
leonato is a terrible father and is completely ignoring his daughter and believing the men who he has not known nearly has long as his own daughter but purely because they are men and have higher standing in society
why she, oh she is fallen into a pit of ink, that the wide sea hath drops too few to wash her clean again
leonato is calling hero ruined or marked- due to the suposod loss of her viginity - and he is using a metephor to say not even the sea could make her clean again.
this also links to heros “blot” saying no one can Blot out her name again using the ink imagery
would the two princes lie, and claudio lie
shakespear is using dramatic irony as yes one of the princes lied .
hero has long (for her) monologe
that I yesternight
Maintained the change of words with any creature,
Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death!
this is very out of character for hero as she is speaking about how if she truly is lying than may she be hated tortured and refused.
Act 3 Scene page 65 lines 1-13 15-26
hero lines
this is significant becuase hero is extreamly different from her usual self, she is speaking and is dominating conversation. this is significant as she is a very small person in the sence she is stepd over and is not consider important as she is a women(not fiery like beatrice) but there is a simpe reason she is speaking- she is the highest in rank, supposidly the only person with her is ursula who is a waiting women and of low class.
so says the prince, and my new trothed lord
even while the men are not there hero feels the need to show proof of what she is saying by explaining the high class men where the ones to tell her.
But who dare tell her so? If I should speak,
She would mock me into air.
O, she would laugh me
Out of myself, press me to death with wit.
even though her is technically of higher standing than beatrice she is still scared of being mocked by her
by my troth niece thou wilt never get thee a husband if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue
sutbley saying she needs to get a husband- leonato may repect beatrice less becuase she is an unmarried women who is not seeking out a husband
daughter remeber what i told you if the prince do solict you in that kind, you know your answer
he is not giving hero the chance to make the choice on her own if she wants to be with don pedro
well than, go you into hell
could be joking or not or subtling saying she will go to hell as an umarried women
