The prince of Cumberland! That is a step

drummer-boy for the army. He trained and worked hard to be a
good one. He may have been physically ready for his first
battle, but emotionally he was not. I donβt think he really
knew what killing a person involved. All of his life he
watched the people he cared about be taken away from him.
First, it was his parents, then Johnny, then Noreen and now
it was about to happen again. T .....

scheme. Benedick has strong hold on that feeling and what’s to keep it that
way. Encounters with a character known as Beatrice prove this to be true.
Everytime these characters see one another arguments are endless, and put
downs are fired back and forth. In fact Benedick tells her “...I would I could
find in my heart that had not a hard heart, for truly I love none” (I.i.92), his
one way view is .....
