Look at how Benedick and Beatrice speak and behave here. How do you think an audience might respond to this part of the play? Refer closely to details from the extract to support

your answer.

B_enedick If Signor Leonato be her father, she would not have his head on her shoulders for all Messina, as like him as she is.

B_eatrice I wonder that you will still be talking, Signor Benedick, nobody marks you.

B_enedick What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?

B_eatrice Is it possible Disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signor Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence.

B_enedick Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted, and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart, for truly I love none.

B_eatrice A dear happiness to women, they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.

B_enedick God keep your ladyship still in that mind! So some gentleman or other shall ’scape a predestinate scratched face.

B_eatrice Scratching could not make it worse an ’twere such a face as yours were.

B_enedick Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher.

B_eatrice A bird of my tongue is better than a beast of yours.

B_enedick I would my horse had the speed of your tongue, and so good a continuer. But keep your way, i’ God’s name, I have done.

B_eatrice You always end with a jade’s trick. I know you of old.

Look at how King Henry and Katherine speak and behave here. How do you think an audience might respond to this part of the play? Refer closely to details from the extract

to support your answer.

K_ing H_enry Marry, if you would put me to verses or to dance for your sake, Kate, why, you undid me: for the one I have neither words nor measure, and for the other I have no strength in measure, yet a reasonable measure in strength. If I could win a lady at leapfrog, or by vaulting into my saddle with my armour on my back, under the correction of bragging be it spoken, I should quickly leap into a wife. Or if I might buffet for my love or bound my horse for her favours, I could lay on like a butcher and sit like a jackanapes, never off. But before God, Kate, I cannot look greenly nor gasp out my eloquence, nor I have no cunning in protestation, only downright oaths, which I never use till urged, nor never break for urging. If thou canst love a fellow of this temper, Kate, whose face is not worth sunburning, that never looks in his glass for love of anything he sees there, let thine eye be thy cook. I speak to thee plain soldier. If thou canst love me for this, take me; if not, to say to thee that I shall die is true; but for thy love, by the Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou liv’st, dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and uncoined constancy, for he perforce must do thee right, because he hath not the gift to woo in other places; for these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies’ favours, they do always reason themselves out again. What, a speaker is but a prater, a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon, or rather the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly. If thou would have such a one, take me; and take me, take a soldier; take a soldier, take a king. And what sayst thou then to my love? Speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee.

K_atherine Is it possible dat I sould love de enemy of France?

K_ing H_enry No, it is not possible you should love the enemy of France, Kate: but in loving me you should love the friend of France; for I love France so well that I will not part with a village of it; I will have it all mine: and Kate, when France is mine, and I am yours, then yours is France, and you are mine.

What does this extract show an audience about Shylock’s thoughts and feelings here?

Refer closely to details from the extract to support your answer.

S_alarino But tell us, do you hear whether Antonio have had any loss at sea or no?

S_hylock There I have another bad match: a bankrupt, a prodigal, who dare scarce show his head on the Rialto, a beggar that was used to come so smug upon the mart. Let him look to his bond. He was wont to call me usurer; let him look to his bond. He was wont to lend money for a Christian courtesy; let him look to his bond.

S_alarino Why, I am sure if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh. What’s that good for?

S_hylock To bait fish withal; if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies – and what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge! The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
