    1. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.

      One of the book's most ironic lines given that these two bickering foe's end up coupled towards the end of what seems like, a roundabout plot. Beatrice, from the beginning, is established as outspoken and witty. When compared to the book's other female lead, Hero's portrayed as soft-spoken and obedient as she never fully has a say in who she gets married to. The two women serve as foils to each other ideally because their personalities are in such contrast, but Shakespeare makes an interesting choice to do this. By allowing both characters to display their own forms of positive characteristics while making the other look unfavorable, Shakespeare leaves room for the readers to decide what the "ideal" woman should possess in order to look more desirable since both characters do end up with arrangements to be married.

    1. Don John. Sir, they are spoken, and these things are true.

      I chose to create a character screen in Don John's POV. I chose this route because I wanted to do something a little different from an image of Don John as a puppeteer, something more literal. I wanted to reiterate the idea that Don John is technically behind most of the events occurring and by creating this "game" it shows his ability to use those around him for his own entertainment.
