Theme: Marriage - Quotes

“Good Lord, for alliance: thus goes every one to the world but I, and I am sunburnt, I may sit in a corner and cry, ‘Heigh-ho for a husband.’”– Beatrice (Act 2, Scene 1)

Beatrice jokes that she is unattractive and will never get a husband, as though a woman’s worth is based on her appearance and this is the sole reason she is still unmarried. It’s also notable that her “Good Lord, for alliance” mirrors Benedick’s concern that he’ll never see another old bachelor – both of them seem to be sensitive to the fact that everyone is getting married, except for them.

Theme: Marriage - Quotes

“The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull’s horns and set them in my forehead, and let 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 Benedick the married man.’” – Benedick (Act 1, Scene 1)

Benedick equates marriage with being whipped, tamed, and cuckolded. Marrying would mean sacrificing his independence and breaking his pride, and Benedick finds the idea of losing either foolish. It’s a strong enough intuition to put him off marriage altogether.

Theme: Marriage - Quotes

“But I hope you have no intent to turn husband, have you?” – Benedick “I would scarce trust myself, though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife.” - Claudio (Act 1, Scene 1)

This is one of the first times that marriage is spoken of explicitly, and it’s presented as an object of unwitting deception. Claudio had been as anti-marriage as Benedick, but after seeing Hero for the first time, he wants to marry her, he notes that even he can’t trust his own word. This is a hint that he might be faithless in the process of getting married and shows that he only wishes to marry her because of her appearance and a woman’s worth is based solely on her appearance.
