is not your lord honourable without marriage?
Don Pedro: He finds pride in his ability to bringing love Benedick’s way so much as to compare himself to Cupid
Cupid is no longer an archer
Leonato: Attack on his honour on the accusations of his daughter. (His own honour and reputation is much more important than the life of Hero)
Hath no man’s dagger here a point for me?
Leonato: Resents Hero being “his” as she is a stain on his honour
no part of it is mine
Benedick: Initially does not go against his men calling them still honourable (ACKNOWLEDGES DON PEDRO AND CLAUDIO’S HONOUR)
Two of them have the very bent of honour
Don Pedro: Brings attention to his own honour in a situation between Hero and Claudio.
I stand dishonoured
Benedick: Diminishes Claudio’s honour
fare you well, boy
Don Pedro: Slandering Leonato’s honour
good old man
Don Pedro: His accusatory words must be deemed true because of his honour
But on my honour she was charged with nothing / But what was true and very full of proof
