 Now let's discuss key quotations and word love analysis to do when it comes to the character of Claudio Now do bear in mind that he is one of the main characters in much ado about nothing He is presented as an honorable soldier. He's of course the friend of Don Pedro Leonardo now on the one hand he is Presented and shown by Shakespeare as someone who easily falls in love his love stroke Maybe almost a little bit too quick to fall in love So his actions maybe could also be interpreted as a little bit impetuous when he decides You know, he falls enough with hero and then decides to get married to her very quickly However on the other hand his reaction in both believing Don John's Lies and his slander of hero as well as how Horrible he is to hero on their wedding day on their first wedding Shows that he can also be very hurtful and he's also a little bit gullible. Okay So when it comes to Claudio's character, these are the main quotations to remember from the entire play particularly if you are Studying his character as part of your assessment if you're writing about him as part of your exams and of course Obviously, these are key quotations. Remember mainly for Claudio's character. Do make sure you check out my other videos We'll go over the other main characters. Okay So I'll do is I will go through each quotation and show you what word level analysis you can do when analyzing These key quotations. So let's begin with the first quote where he first sees hero and he instantly falls for her He states is she not a modest young lady now in terms of word level analysis here to do It's of course a rhetorical questions. That's a structural point you can make but of course also the descriptions They're adjectives that Claudio has of hero modest young this idea of her being, you know This typical beautiful but also very very modest Elizabethan woman This obviously shows that hero really full follows the ideals of what is expected of Elizabethan women during this time So you can see here that Claudio really really falls in love with her very very quickly The other quotation to bear in mind and this is still tied into when Claudio does fall in love with hero is he asks Can the world by such a jewel and again, this is a rhetorical question the hyperbole the world again Shows that hero is just so amazing Is it you know, is it possible for any money in the world to even buy her hand in marriage again? Bear in mind contextually there was something called dowry Which was the payment in exchange for a woman's hand in marriage So of course also this is a reference to the dowry and he's saying, you know Is there enough money that can pay dowry for someone as beautiful and as modest and perfect as hero The third petition to bear in mind with Claudio's character is this is after he has been successfully Tripped by Don John into believing that hero was unfaithful to him on the night before their wedding He states let every eye negotiate for itself ellipsis for beauty is a witch Now here we can see that Claudio is a little bit gullible He's so quick to believe Don John and we can see here. He's really really angry in other words He's renouncing his love for hero and he's basically saying, you know, there's no such thing as love. It's every mind for himself That's what he's stating here Now the word level analysis you want to do is firstly the essence of e in every eye and of course also when he talks about how Hero's beauty misguided him he states beauty is a witch which is a metaphor Basically, he's stating that you know hero through her appearance basically deceived him into falling in love with her But actually he misjudged her character The other quotation to remember for his character is when he states and this is now when he's telling Leonardo He does not want to marry hero after he has slandered her He states give not this rotten orange to your friend So here he is incensed and he's really really angry and he's actually very hurtful when he's talking of hero as a rotten Orange, he's basically saying that she's not a virgin She's not pure as he had believed and he's telling Leonardo take back your daughter I don't want her now the word level analysis you want to do here is firstly the essence of o in not Orange to in your and the metaphor rotten orange Which of course is a very very sexist thing to say about a woman But equally of course this shows that Claudio can be very hurtful and very resentful the other quotation to bear in mind with his character is when he then realizes that What he was told about hero was completely untrue and he believes at this stage that hero has died He feels really sad. He seems repentant when he states done to death by slanderous tongues Was the hero that here lies, okay? Now here the one love on our city want to do mainly is the elicitation of done and death And of course what this is showing is that he feels very remorseful about his actions He can't believe that he talked to her in that way and of course ultimately led to her death But of course we know that she's not dead The other quotation to bear in mind with his character is when Leonardo basically states that he forgives Him but states that he now has to marry his niece now hair Claudio again He's really repentance. He's really thankful is telling the not so sorry You're over kindness dot ring tears for me now. This is an exclamatory sentence This is a structural point you want to make okay? So here when he's speaking in this exclamatory sentence We can see that Claudio is actually very very repentant and he's basically just telling Leonardo I can't thank you enough for forgiving me. You know, I'm happy to marry your niece Okay, anything that will make you happy because of course, it's me that caused this problem this mess Also, the other word love analysis you want to do here is of course the pronoun your when he's referring to Leonardo again what we can see here is Claudio actually is a you know, he does have dignity He also has enough Self-knowledge to reflect on himself and reflect on his misdeeds and say that he's going to try and make it right now the final quotation is when the masked woman reveals herself to be hero and He's really really happy. So Claudio is really happy that hero is not dead, but also you can marry her So he states to her give me your hand before this holy fryer. I am your husband if you like of me Now here firstly what you want to do is to talk about the structural point where he's talking to her and basically commanding He's speaking in an imperative sentence. He really wants to marry her. He says give me your hand Okay, so this is an imperative sentence. Also in terms of word love analysis You want to talk about also the alliteration of H in hand and holy. Okay? Well, this is emphasizing is how much Claudio wants to marry hero He's now in love with her again The final thing you want to talk about is of course the repetition of the possessive pronoun your okay So you've got your hair as well as your hair, okay? And now the possessive pronoun this repetition shows that Claudio really really basically wants to Hero to forgive him, but also he's really really keen on marriage with her Okay, so that's it when it comes to key quotations remember for Claudio's character
