Aim: How can we analyze the use of observation as deception in the rising action of the play?
Do Now: Read Balthasar's song about relationships, which can be found in II.iii.64-79. Try and deduce what it actually is saying. How appropriate is this song considering it's being sung while Don Pedro plots love for Benedick? How would the audience have reacted? Are there any modern songs which portray the same tone and mood?
Continued from Do Now: The poem talks about the unfaithfulness of men and that men were deceivers of all time.
Read Aloud and Group Work
II.iii
1. What does Benedick believe about the transformation of men who are in love?
2. Describe his perfect woman. Why is this comical? What parallels of character are distinctly obvious?
3. How do Don Pedro, Claudio, and Leonato describe how Beatrice holds her affections?
4. What makes Benedick believe what the men are saying?
5. What is the distinct irony between Benedick's first monologue and his last ( in this scene)?
6. What specific skills and rhetorical devices are the Prince, Claudio, and Leonato using to trick Benedick? Give examples!
- We finished Act 2 Scene 3 but we didn't get up to the questions yet.
