Character type:-

Classic comedy character will go first

-        Bragging soldier = Benedick

-        Protective dad= Leonato

-        Fool = Dogberry

-        Innocent girl =Hero

-        “Bawdy” girl= Margaret/ slightly Beatrice at the start of the play but not at the end!

-        Cowardly slave / Baddie =Don John/ Borachio

Comedy of manners:

-        Don John the blocker ‘I heard him swear his affection.’ Page 22 line 153 act 2 scene 1

-        The teacher Friar ‘and wished he had not so accused her’ page 65 line 230 act iv scene 1

-         The buffoon Dogberry ‘talk is most tolerable and not to be endured’ line 36 page 48 act 3 scene 1

Also at the end or a new paragraph say how Dogberry provides comic relief to the audience to keep it a comedy

Plot ideas from comedy of manners

Romance pursued: Hero and Claudio, Beatrice and Benedick

Shows greed and lust: it does show some ideas of lust as Claudio lusts over Hero and Benedick over Beatrice only slightly
