Much ado about nothing – Shakespeare

“Don John:

There is no measure in the occasion that breeds

It; therefore the sadness is without limit.

Conrade:

You should hear reason.

Don John:

And when I have heard it what blessing bringeth

It?

Conrade:

If not a present remedy, yet a patient sufferance.

Don John:

(…) I cannot hide what I am: I must be sad when I have cause,

And smile at no man’s jests; eat when I have

Stomach, and wait for no man’s leisure.” (Shakespeare, 1992, p.524).

“Benedick:

Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.” (Shakespeare, 1992, p.533).

“Benedick:

(…) for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.” (Shakespeare, 1992, p.549).
