I Think I Might Be In Love

I never thought I would want to get married by now it seems I have been captivated by the very woman I claimed to hate. It seems Beatrice is madly in love with me, I would not believed it if I
hadn't heard Leonato himself say this. A respectable man like him would say such a thing as a joke. 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.

As it turns out Lady Beatrice is angry at me for my insults from earlier if only some wise men would conjure her away that I might have some peace. I would go to the ends of the earth to be rid ...

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.
