lol a 100 word essay? or u mean paragraph haha.

Benedict reveals his attraction to Beatrice to Claudio, Leonato's niece, but at the same time profoundly states a declaration of bachelorism. Beatrice's character is described as a fine example of a woman in Shakespeare's time. She has a biting wit, and in her "high intellect and high animal spirits meet" (Jameson 349) Benedict and Beatrice quarrel in a skirmish of wits which is merely a facade of their underlying attraction to each other, and an ongoing struggle of recognizing their love. Benedict and Beatrice's attraction and pre-existing relationship is evident, and their battle of the sexes is followed closely. Beatrice admits her attraction to Bene*censored* but is reluctant to act upon it, and at the same time rejects the idea of giving herself to a man, and jokes about her believing that she will never find the perfect husband. Beatrice and Benedict's relationship is tumultuous from the start of the play because of a previously soured relationship between the two, and from the beginning she seems reluctant to trust him as well. Beatrice says to Don Pedro in response of his noting that she had "lost the heart of Signior Benedict", "Indeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile, and I gave him use for it-a double heart for his single one. Marry once before he won it of me with false dice; therefore your grace may well say I have lost it."(II.i.249) She also says, "You always end with a jade's trick." "I know you of old."(I.i.129) Beatrice does not want to trust Benedict with her heart, but Hero, along with Ursula and Margaret her maids, plot to trick Benedict and Beatrice into falling in love by telling each of them of the others attraction, and ironically they succeed in resparking a pre-existing flame. This trick that Hero and her maids pull off is not an invention of Shakespeare, rather, he may have borrowed the theme from a tale in a collection of stories about the French court in the Valois era written by Margauerite de Navarre, sister of Francis I. The story, quite similar to the play, describes female courtiers tricking a man that despised women into falling for a particular woman, catching him in the act and ridiculing him (Richmond 56).


get your information out of there, change the wording and you're good to go.
