Who from Much Ado about Nothing said she will not marry a man from earth?
Beatrice doesn't exactly say this. She says, in response to Leonato's remark that he hopes she will someday find a husband (2,1):
Not till God make men of some other metal than
earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be
overmastered with a pierce of valiant dust? to make
an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?
Since the Bible story was that God had created all men from earth, which is to say dirt, Beatrice is basically saying she doesn't want a husband. She then turns the legend on its head, saying that it would be a poor thing for a woman to acknowledge dirt, dust and mud as her superior and she will have none of it. She is not suggesting that she would marry someone from another planet or anything--she doesn't want to marry anyone at all.

I have seen on a website that it is a monologue from a play called "Perpetual Care". The monologue is spoken by an angel that is trying to explain Emma Mae's love for James.
EXCERPT:......“It never seemed a very cheerful place,†she says. She adds that John Wright wasn’t exactly a cheerful person........The sheriff notes that his wife will be picking up some clothes for Mrs. Wright and taking them to the jail. Henderson gives his approval but says he will want to see what she takes. After the men go upstairs to view the crime scene, Mrs. Hale defends Mrs. Wright for “not having things slicked up when she had to come away in a hurry.†She also retrieves a jar of cherry preserves and says Mrs. Wright will feel bad when she finds out it is the only jar of fruit still intact after she worked so hard on her canning.
The phrase "slicked up" in this context means tidied up, made to look presentable and even putting a extra shine to a room or a whole house.
In another context but with the same general meaning, a writer might say: "The boy got all slicked up for his first date."

Does a single hero or villain exist in Julius Caesar?
Not really, all of the Imperial Roman characters are somewhat shady in their ambitions and are aimed against the Big C. I always liked the line: Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look, he thinks too much, such men are dangerous! No it does not describe a Black Panther (with boxing gloves?) on the prowl. Cassius , Brutus and the other guys are essentially political gangsters like Macbeth and co. Caesar is a(Good Guy) but he is knocked-off fairly early in the play. Great Caesar"s Ghost!

Why did petruchio marry kate in The Taming of the Shrew?
Primarily for money. He wants a wife, and it would appear that anyone female might fit the bill, but he also means to "wive it wealthily in Padua" which means that apart from being female, her other qualification was that she was rich. He decides to marry her sight unseen and knowing that she has, you might say, personality issues, because she meets those two qualifications.
The cynical or misogynistic view of the play would leave it at that. They would have it that for Petruchio Kate is never anything more than a piece of property, who needs to be trained in the same way a thoroughbred horse needs to be trained. In this view he never develops an appreciation for her as a person.
A more sympathetic view has it that he does learn to appreciate her as a person, and, what is more, learns to care for her. She needs to get rid of her obnoxious personality for her ability to feel affection for him to flower, and as her real personality emerges he develops the ability to feel affection for her.
What does princox mean in romeo and Juliet?
Capulet calls Tybalt a "princox". The OED says it means "a pert, saucy, boy or youth" which you can get from the context. It also says it means the same as a "coxcomb" which suggests that it comes from the strutting, arrogant behaviour of roosters.

Why did Medea try to poison Theseus and how does King Aegeus stop her plans?
Medea was Aegeus' second wife, and she bore him a son named Medus. Medus was the heir-apparent to the throne prior to the re-emergence of Theseus. Medea immediately recognized Theseus and set to him the task of capturing the Marathonian Bull (previously the Cretan Bull - sire of the Minotaur by Pasiphae). She assumed the task would kill him, but instead, Theseus brought the bull back to be sacrificed.
Fearing that Aegeus would make Theseus his heir rather than her own son, she attempted to poison him. But before Theseus could drink the poison, Aegeus recognized his own sandals and sword, hidden so many years before. Recognizing his son, he slapped the poison out of his hand and embraced him. Medea then fled Athens back to her homeland in Colchis, son in tow.
