I Am To Be Married




First and foremost Hero has been proven innocent by the very people who accused her so Claudio need not die. Secondly I am happy to announce my engagement to Beatrice. I admit I felt deflated when I asked if she loved me and she said "no; no more than reason". To save face I claimed the same but I am thankful for our hands betraying our hearts and Hero and Claudio for delivering these letters. The two of us may be ridiculed for our abandonment of our plans to die single but as a married couple we will persevere.

Though I did tell her I had heard that she was disdainful there was no reason to for her to refer to me well Benedick as such.

Even Hero, Beatrice's cousin, claimed the same. With her testimony it must be true. They said she is beautiful, virtuous and smart and I know this to be true.I may be teased for wanted to marry due to how long I attacked the very concept of marriage. "When I said that I'd die as a bachelor, I just meant that I didn't think I'd live until I got married". I think I can see signs of the love they spoke of in her. To show my new found love for her I have shaved my beard and now ware perfume.
