Interview Questions

(LEONATO IS BEING INTERVIEWED)

You were found holding a letter yesterday, do you mind telling us what the letter read?

Not at all, the letter read that Don Pedro of Aragon and his army are coming to Messina tonight.

We also heard that a new man is being honored, who is this?

His name is Claudio, the messenger believes that he deserves to be honored, this man, Claudio, has done more than anyone would expect of a man his age. He also has an uncle here was really excited to hear the news, the messenger said he weeped once he heard the news.

Is Claudio and Don Pedro and his army the only people coming back from the Battle?

No, the cousin of Hero, Signor Benedick, is coming also.

We heard Beatrice cannot stand him?

Yes thats true, Beatrice strongly dislikes him after his challenge against Cupid.

What happened?

Benedick once put up a public notice in Messina challenging Cupid to an archery match. Beatrices uncle’s jester accepted the contest on Cupid’s behalf but used toy arrows at the shooting match.

Do you dislike Benedick too?

no, I believe he served very well at war, he’s a very good soldier, and I believe one day he will get even with Beatrice, but she deserves it, she always criticizes him.
