Much Ado About Nothing

1). The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedict bear it, pluck off the horns and set them in my forehead, and ley me be vilely painted, and in such great letters as they write " Here is good horse to hire" let them signify under my sign
" Here you may see Benedict, the married man".

This sentence was said by Benedict. He was saying to Don Pedro that if he is to ever be married, let them take off a bulls horns and put it on his forehead and vilely paint him and ridicule him. If he was to ever get married thet should put a sign on him in bold letters saying here is a good horse to hire. He strongly agree that marriage is not for him.


2). What should i do with him-dress him in my apparel and make him my gentle woman? He that hath a beard is less than a youth, and he that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, i am not for him.

This was said by Beatrice to Leaonato. She is telling him that she is not interested in Benedict because he has a baird. Then she was being sarcastic and asked if she would dress him up in her apparel and call him her gentlewoman. She was making the baird and excuse of a reason not to be with Benedict.

The dramatical significance of this is that they both are saying they are not for each other and they secretly love each other.
