● Unlikely marriage or Secret love? (Benedick and Beatrice)

Benedick, the so-called “bachelor for life,” abruptly decided to marry Beatrice. The
rivalry of Benedick and Beatrice, was well-known throughout Messina, and a few
months back, it was unthinkable that the two would dare stand beside each other, let

alone marry each other. Although all is
well, and Benedick is now a
happily-married life. In a recent
interview with Benedick, he said that
“when he said he didn’t want to marry,”
he simply meant that “he didn’t expect
to live long enough to marry.” A
reasonable expectation, for a person in
his profession of war. He also refused
to tell us of his history with Beatrice
before their marriage, save his
narrations of their banter. Although both
Benedick and Beatrice argue that they
didn’t have much of a history, and they requited love for each other, without ever having
the intention to do so, we firmly believe that it was in fact a secret love. A love, kept
hidden from the eyes of Messina. This seems to be clearly conveyed by their so-called
banter, not to mention the secret letters which were revealed at their weddings, by
Claudio and Hero respectively(See picture above) .

● The Shaming and death of Hero

The death of Hero, daughter of Leonato, has
wreaked havoc, upon the people of Messina.
Her death, occurred on the 6th of May, 1666.
When investigated, the cause of Hero’s death
was revealed to be the vulgar language,
mockery and shaming, directed towards her by
Claudio.

“Claudio shamed my sister, and revenge must
be had,” said an angry, and emotionally unstable Beatrice, upon asking her what she
thinks of the situation. Beatrice also proceeded to talk about how cruel Claudio is, and
how sad she felt for her sister. There have also been some rumours, that Beatrice also

said to Benedick, afterwards to “Kill Claudio.” It is not an opinion, but a fact, that what
was given to Hero was completely wrong, and that Claudio’s actions were totally
unjustified, however, even Benedick agreed to fight Claudio, like a man, in order to right
Hero.

In an interview with Leonato, our reporters were told that “What Claudio did, was
completely wrong. Not only did he use such language, on a holy day, Claudio dared to
accuse Hero, my daughter, of being in bed, with men other than himself,” Leonato
continued on to say that if Claudio did not want to marry Hero, he could have simply
said so, instead of hurting Hero the extent that she died from the emotional wounds
inflicted upon her, by Claudio.
