Why can't Olivio see that Beatrice still misses Benedick? She asked for him as soon as she had the chance. Even in denial, she wants to know that he's still alive and well.

I don't think her heart will be able to take it if something did happen to him. And that makes me hope that Benedick would actually have to fight Claudio. He wouldn't die in the fight, can't do that to Beatrice, but he wouldn't come out of it unscathed.

Maybe seeing his daughter worry and fuss over Benedick would convince Olivio that he was wrong all those years ago. These two belong together, and Benedick has proved himself to be worthy of his daughter.

Anyway, those are just my random thoughts.

Great story as always! I look forward to seeing more of Olivio and Elena. They are interesting characters and I can't wait to see how they behave with Beatrice in private.

I hope you'll piece together what the objection really is. You saw how much male pride influenced Leonato in the original? Well... it's worse here.

You'll see so soon enough. Whether it reflects well on any of them is another matter.

As always, glad you commented!
