Can't wait for the DVD Extra! Benedick did promise he would take care to ensure she enjoyed their wedding night. As he's a man of his word, I'm sure she will. I see he's already looking forward to descendants!

This was quite a unique take, and the juxtaposition of Beatrice and Benedick's situation with Hero and Claudio's was well done. Indeed, Benedick proved himself to be the properest man in Messina.

All of the women in the household, Maria, Innogen and Beatrice, were well able to defend themselves. I'm glad Beatrice took matters into her own hand (or knee, as the case might be) and will be devising the punishments. There is no fury like that of a woman!

I'm glad that Claudio wasn't just allowed to marry Hero immediately. He, and she, need to really think through if he is worthy enough. He readily believed things that should not have been.

I like that Bruno found out and was finally able to approach Beatrice about the plot and what had been done to her and Benedick as well. Children are often dismissed, but they hear all and see all. It's just too bad that Benedick couldn't really do anything about it until after the damage was done. Still, it was a good reveal of character.

Am going to post it in a bit. Assuming I don't collapse from being tired first. This cold is knocking me for a loop, and I may have to request subs for tomorrow's classes. :(

Would you expect anything less from Benedick? I think he's really looking forward to raising his own little Beatrice. :)

Good. The contrast worked. And Beatrice carried on the charge for the women, surprisingly led by Innogen. :)

Yeah. Exactly.

Thank you. I'm honored.

Feel better, post it when you can.

Ooh, a little Beatrice, won't that be fun! Or lots of little Beatrices and Benedicks running around... all of that wit!

*giggles* They'll have their hands full. ;D
