Question

Samuel Taylor Coleridge used this play to argue that its author's plots are interesting “on account of the characters, not vice versa.” One of this play's protagonists states his feelings for a woman by saying, “If I do not love her, I am a Jew.” In this play, a man who asks “Lady Disdain” if she is alive is told that disdain “should not die… with such meet food.” In a song from this play, (15[1])(*) Balthasar sings that “Men were deceivers (10[1])ever” and that ladies should “Sigh no more.” Don John's (-5[1])plot (-5[1])to ruin a wedding in this play is foiled by the bumbling nightwatchman Dogberry, (10[1])who asks a notetaker to “remember that [he] is an ass.” To test the loyalty of her lover, a woman in this play orders him to “Kill Claudio,” her cousin Hero's fiance. For 10 points, name this Shakespeare play that ends with the marriage of Beatrice and Benedick. ■END■ (10[1])
