Interviewer: Do you know who he really is Beatrice?
Beatrice: Yes. There was once a time when I stupidly allowed myself to fall for Benedick. He led me on, and then the relationship ended. From then on I have had nothing to do with men.
Interviewer: So you never want to fall in love again, or get married?
Beatrice: Exactly. I pray every morning and night that the Lord won’t send me a husband. I could not stand having a husband. I won’t take a husband until they make men out of something other than dirt. That is one thing that separates my cousin and I. Even though we are best friends, we are very different. She wants to have a husband, whereas I do not.
Interviewer: So you say that Hero wants to have a husband, elaborate on that.
Beatrice: Yes it is true. Hero is in love with Claudio. Claudio has talked to her father, Leonato, and they are planning to get married. I do indeed hope the Claudio will treat my sweet, innocent cousin properly and I wish the best for them in their marriage.
