According to
TheFanlistings.Org, a fanlisting is
"a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject". This particular fanlisting is devoted to the relationship between Beatrice and Benedick in William Shakespeare's play (and Kenneth Branagh's 1993 movie)
Much Ado About Nothing. Are you a fan of this couple in the movie or the play? Head on over to the join page.
Beatrice and Benedick are two of the central characters in the William Shakespeare's comedy
Much Ado About Nothing. In
Much Ado About Nothing, Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon; Claudio and his new bride-to-be Hero, who is Beatrice's cousin; Leonato, Hero's father and Beatrice's uncle; and other characters plot to bring Beatrice and Benedick together. These two characters carry on a continuous banter with each other, so much so that Leonato remarks, "they never meet / but there's a skirmish of wit between them" (I:i, 50-51). Both have sworn off marriage, although Beatrice tells the prince they have dated before, and the plotters vow to bring them together. After Hero and Claudio's wedding is broken up with false accusations against Hero, planted in Claudio's mind by Don John, Don Pedro's illegitamate half-brother, Benedick and Beatrice swear their love for each other. After Don John's evil plot is discovered and mended, Benedick and Beatrice discover that they have been tricked into loving each other, but plan to marry anyway. The final scenes ends with a dance.
A Skirmish of Wit opened on 25 October 2006. The current layout features Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as Beatrice and Benedick in the 1993 movie adaptation of
Much Ado Aboht Nothing.
