According to Claudio and Don Pedro how has Benedick changed since we last saw him ? How does Benedick explain the change in behavior?
According to Claudio and Don Pedro, Benedick has changed his appearance and personality in a few ways, one that he has shaven his beard and wearing different clothes. The idea of Benedick shaving his beard is link to the idea of Beatrice's ideal man and that this is after the gulling scene therefor Benedick is trying to Beatrice ideal man so they will fall in love and marry as he has started to fall in love with her 'He hath a beard is more than a youth and he that hath no beard is less than a man' this show that he shaved it to be with Beatrice and that maybe he always love Beatrice. It also was suppose to show the ideal man at that time and how he now is suppose to be want women wanted in contrast to what Benedick said that' every woman love me.' Even though his friend decide to mock him by saying ' hath any man seen him at the barbers' this quote is how the men tell us other than seeing him that Benedick has changed his appearance although the men believe this is because of Beatrice, Benedick said 'i have toothache' and that is the reason he shaved his beard to rub' the old ointment' so he changed for his health, not for the love of his life.
