There are two women of significance in Much Ado, and they are very different people. So I guess you could say that Shakespeare portrays women as being different individuals, not all the same as each other. Which I would say is pretty accurate.

Why does Hero say that she will not tell Beatrice about Benedick's love?
Because really, the love was not even true. They were just trying to get Beatrice and Benedick to love each other. By purposely letting Beatrice overhear Hero talking her maid or whoever it was, they wanted Beatrice to think that Benedick loved her so that Beatrice would love him. The men let Benedick overhear their conversation about how Beatrice loved Benedick (even though she really didn't at that time) so that Benedick would thinkthat Beatrice loved him so he would love her. Yes, complicated, I know. : )

Discuss the functions of conversation gossip and overhearing or eavesdropping in Much Ado About Nothing Use examples to support your assertions?
Eavesdropping is one of the biggest actions that can make or break somebody's decision. There are different occurrences when eavesdropping can occur. The most obvious one is when someone hides, and they listen to conversations that someone else is having. Another way is when someone uses someone else for the information that is wanted. A lot of drama occurs when people eavesdrop, especially in books and plays. In William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, it is shown through characterization, symbolism, and foreshadowing that eavesdropping can lead to misinterpretation of reality. There are two characters whose actions show that they are eavesdropping on other characters conversations. These characters include Benedick and Beatrice. The whole theory behind this eavesdropping is so that they can hear the gossip that is being said about them. For example, Benedick overhears Don Pedro and Leonato talking. He hears them say something about himself and Beatrice, so he decides to hide behind some trees in the garden and eavesdrop. The same occurrence happened to Beatrice, except that she overheard Hero and Ursula. She also overheard them in the garden, but instead of hiding behind the trees, she hid behind a statue. By Benedick and Beatrice hiding, they hear some things that are not true. In order for someone to eavesdrop, they have to be in the vicinity of the conversation. Benedick was, in fact, near the conversation of Don Pedro and Leonato. He was hiding behind some trees. This whole conversation was planned out by Don Pedro. He intentionally had Leonato talk to him about his own niece, Beatrice. Knowing that Benedick was hiding, in Act II scene iii, Don Pedro talks to Leonato in a loud voice about Beatrice's love for Benedick. He says it in a loud voice so that Benedick can hear every word. This was just so that Benedick would admit his love for Beatrice. While the two men were talking, Don Pedro asks Leonato if his "niece Beatrice was in love with Signoir Benedick" (III. ii. 96-97). Leonato did in fact agree with Don Pedro. Even though Benedick did not want to marry anyone, after the conversation he heard, he rethought about his theory. Considering Benedick has rethought about his theory of marriage, it does not mean that what he has heard is fully true; therefore, the reality could be that Beatrice really does not love him. On the other hand, Beatrice is acting in the same way that Benedick does. She is in the garden, and she is eavesdropping on Hero and Ursula. In Act III, scene i, Hero and Ursula, one of Hero's servants, are talking about Benedick's love for Beatrice. This conversation was also a planned conversation, so that Beatrice can also confess her love for Benedick. The scene originally begins with Hero and Ursula talking. As the conversation continues, Hero notices Beatrice approaching. She then gives Ursula the cue. Once Ursula has received it, she begins to speak in a loud voice, praising Benedick. She also asks Hero in a loud voice, "
What does the phrase an oak but with one green leaf on it would have answered her mean?
After Beatrice has teased him at the masked ball, Benedick says: O, she misused me past the endurance of a block! an oak but with one green leaf on it would have answered her; my very visor began to assume life and scold with her. He is really saying the same thing three times. He is saying that she said such rude things about him that even an inanimate object would have got mad and started to argue with her: a block of wood would not have been able to endure; an oak tree so near death that it has only one leaf would have spoken; the very mask or visor Benedick was wearing would have come to life. Of course Benedick couldn't argue with her because he wanted to keep his identity secret; Beatrice of course knew that, which is why she was saying such rude things in the first place.
