Beatrice

• I had rather my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me
• taming my wild heart to thy loving hand
• "Signor Montanto" "Lady Disdain"
• Adam's sons are my brethren and truly I hold it a sin to match in my kindred
• I was born to speak all mirth and no matter
• an he were I would burn my study
• What I do with him, Dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman
• I can see a church by daylight
• it keeps me on the windy side of care
• It is my cousin's duty to make curtsy and say father as it please you
• • Goes against the traditional "courtly love"
  • Not a traditional woman, very masculine traits: witty (skirmish of wit), loud , passionate
  • Seems to have had a previous relationship with Benedick that ended badly: "my double heart for his single one", "I know you of old", "false dice"
