beatrice is a great character considering she hates men and this was written in the 1500s. it’s kinda undermined with the treatment of hero but i can understand that, given it was written so long ago. i can’t tell if i like the writing or not since i don’t usually read plays outside of assigned reading in high school but i found it really witty and fun overall! i hate claudio tho and beatrice + benedick stole the show for me
