The author portrays Claudio as a confident person, and sort of the "top person" and how he doesn't care. "well, i meet you, so i may have good cheer."

Benedick was very upset with Claudio and Don Pedro. He showed this by pulling Claudio aside and saying "You are a villain. I jest not. I will make it good how you dare."(158) This quote shows Benedick villifying Claudio.

Benedick acts like a whole new man. He seems more serious and as if he has less humor. "Here dwells Benedick, the married man" (V.i.195-196) This shows that the other men are joking about Benedick's new personality. It shows they think that he is a new man. -Hank (Checked by Sam)

Claudio believes that Benedick is wrongfully accusing him because Claudio did not slander Hero but Don Pedro did instead, however because neither of them know that, they both believe each other are lying about Hero cheating, and they both think each other is the villain here and is lying; Benedick believes Claudio came up with the story that Hero was cheating, and Claudio thinks that Benedick is lying about Hero for Beatrice. Benedick tells Claudio he is a "villain" (Line 158) as well as "cow[ard]" (Line 161) for this, and Claudio does not understand why Benedick is saying this because he did not come up with the slander to Hero, but Benedick is convinced he did because of Beatrice.

The prince is acting very speculative and kind of acts like he is above all this. This is evidenced by the him saying that, "But when shall...Benedick's head?"(IIIII.I.193-194). Even though Benedick is angry and throwing insults at them, Don Pedro is making a joke casually at Benedick. Furthermore, Don Pedro talks to Claudio as if Benedick was not here by making comments about him. - Sam

Benedicks shows that he is loyal towards Beatrice, by keeping his promise to challenge Claudio. As shown in this quotation, "In most profound earnest, and, I'll warrant/ you, for the love of Beatrice" (IIII, I, 207-208). Shakespeare uses blunt dialogue to show how Claudio and the Prince have realized that Benedick is serious. Benedick willingly decides to challenge his friends and choose love over friendship. His loyalty towards Beatrice shows how his character has developed to accept love.

In the play, Benedick is very upset that Claudio will not believe him he is slandering Hero and he wants to let him know how he feels when he talked he was very upset at him and he said "You are a villain....protest your cowardice" (158-161). This is showing that Benedick is disappointed in what Claudio is doing to Hero and ruining her reputation - Emily checked by Katie

Benedick is trying to seriously talk to Claudio about fighting him but Claudio and the prince are teasing him. When Benedick says "I will... humor" (V.i.197-198) he is intending that the others were joking with him and he was not being taken seriously. When the Prince says "Nay I said" you can tell that it is a repeating idea or a motif. Shakespeare did this to show that the prince was disagreeing heavily with what Benedick was saying earlier on the page. This conversation continues for three pages where Benedick wants to be taken seriously. This shows that Benedick just wants to be taken seriously and wants to fight Claudio for Beatrice.

Don Pedro was very intrigued by the whole conflict, he also seemed like he wanted to be involved, the Prince questions, "What, a feast, a feast?" (V.i.166). Later the Prince had also mentioned what Beatrice had said to him, relating to how the Prince is very involved. This will negatively affect

Prince is  standing by Claudio's side and agree's with what Claudio has done and does not regret his decision, "My heart is sorry for your daughter's death, but what was true and very full of proof.̈̈" - 116. The prince stands with what he says because of how he had setup Hero and Claudio to be together and to learn that Hero had not been loyal to his friend, he feels bad for causing this and wants to stay by his friends side.

Benedick throughout this scene displays his belief in the common good, standing up for what he thinks is right.  Benedick, during the scene, blatantly tells Claudio that he isn't quick-witted.  Quickly after Benedick calls Claudio a villain, and then says he will make his "cowardice" public if he gets on his bad side.  By doing this, Benedick is in effect blackmailing Claudio.  We see Benedick blackmail Claudio when he says "Do me right, or I will protest your cowardice."(160-161).  This transparently shows that Benedick is making it clear that what Claudio did was unacceptable, and he believes that punishing him is appropriate.  (written by A.J., checked by Nick and Sam)

Benedick is starting to act like himself again. this can be seen on page 195 on line 83 when Benedick says "They swore that you were almost sick for me." He is still full of himself from the beginning until the end of the book.

After all that Claudio has done to Hero and after what Leonato and his brother have told him, he still feels no remorse or regret about what he has done to someone he once loved and this causes Benedick to label Claudio as a "coward" (Line 161) because of how shameful and cowardly his actions has been.

In the play, the author William Shakespeare try to show that Claudio doesn't care about Leonado. As he says " Away! I will not have to do with you." This helps show that Cluadio is not wanting to deal anything with after all he has done. Claudios actions show that he apathetic. Due to the Hero slander he can't be bothered by others, especially the ones who said the slanders. - Written by Shayna, Checked by Genesis

In the play, the author tries to show that Claudio doesn't really care about anything since the wedding with Hero. He really stopped caring at the wedding he just said whatever came to mind and nothing else really mattered to him at all. It also seems like he doesn't like the fact that benedick is in love since he's not, for example when he, benedick, and the prince were talking he was saying oh we should put "Here dwells Benedick the married man"(IIIII.I.195-196), in a sarcastic manner. I think that it was also very hypocritical of him because if he was still with Hero he wouldn't be saying that so he just says it because he's unhappy.

Don Pedro shows character traits of being very adamant in the situation in siding with Claudio, where he and Benedick are talking. While they are talking, Don Pedro says, "But when shall we set the savage bull's horns on the sensible Benedick's head?" (IIIII, i, 193-194). The author uses symbolism here to show that Benedick is acting savagely, comparing him to a bull and that he is not his usual sensible self. He makes jokes at Benedick's expense in front of him joking around to Claudio as if he is not there.

The prince is acting very unconcerned about the situation. He is acting like this is not happening and he has more important business, "As i am an honest man...angry?" This is one of the ways that he expresses his lack of interest in the situation. It is obvious that he doesn't care because it is obvious that he is angry about something and he needs to tell him something but, he is asking dumb questions for no reasons. These are the reasons that he is acting unconcerned about the situation. -Sam

Earlier in the book when Claudio showed such great affection for Hero, and hadn't yet been tricked by Don John into thinking Hero is unfaithful, Claudio was much more cheerful and humble. After finding out Hero is innocent he begins to show signs of his old self by saying, "Your overkindness doth wring tears from me ... I do embrace your offer and dispose for henceforth of poor Claudio" (307-309). However, Claudio was still saddened since he obviously believes Hero is really dead.

Benedick shows his devotion to Beatrice by betraying his own friend, Claudio, and asking to duel. This shows Benedick's loyalty toward Beatrice because he is willing to lose his own friend to be with the one he loves, Beatrice. Benedick whispers to Claudio, "You are a villain" (V.i.158). This demonstrates how Benedick betrays his dear friend as an act of love toward Beatrice.
