- Fie, fie! they are not to be named, my lord, not to be spoke of! There is not chastity enough in language without offence to utter them! Thus, pretty lady, I am sorry for thy much misgovernment.
- Act 4, Scene 1, lines 85-115
- O Hero, what a Hero hadst thou been, if half thy outward graces had been placed about thy thoughts and counsels of thy heart! But fare thee well, most foul, most fair! farewell, thou pure impiety and impious purity! For thee I'll lock up all the gates of love, and on my eyelids shall conjecture hang, to turn all beauty into thoughts of harm, and never shall it be more gracious.
- Leonato,I am sorry you must hear: upon mine honour,Myself, my brother and this grieved countDid see her, hear her, at that hour last nightTalk with a ruffian at her chamber-windowWho hath indeed, most like a liberal villain,Confess’d the vile encounters they have hadA thousand times in secret.
- In this scene, Shakespeare furthers the plotline of Claudio and Hero's relationship by exploring the themes of trickery and deception, as well as showing a bit of women 's role and social standing. Don John and Borachio show Claudio and Don Pedro Hero's "disloyalty," and without a second thought, Claudio immediately assumes that Hero is at fault, and decides to publicly shame here on their wedding day. While his assumption does make sense, it does show how women were mistrusted and disrespected in those times.
- Furthering the theme of deception and mistrust, Don John even manages to convince Hero's own father, Leonato, that she has been cheating on Claudio. Hero is so humiliated and embarassed by everything that has been said that she faints on the ground.
- Hath no man’s dagger here a point for me?
- As an observation, Don John leaves with Claudio and Don Pedro right after Hero has fainted, not even giving them a chance to feel any sympathy for her.
- Why, how now, cousin! wherefore sink you down?
- Come, let us go. These things, come thus to light, smother her spirits up.
- The mistrust of women reaches its most destructive point when Leonato is fooled by Don John. He becomes so furious and vengeful, he begins asking fate to take her away and let her die. It is here that Don John's trickery shows its worst possible effects.
- O Fate! take not away thy heavy hand! Death is the fairest cover for her shame that may be wish’d for.
- Dead, I think. Help, uncle! Hero! why Hero! Uncle! Signior Benedick! Friar!
- Hero's unfortunate situation lets the character of Beatrice shine. When everyone else has turned their back on Hero, and her own father is calling to let her die, Beatrice still stays by Hero's side, showing her deep love for her young cousin.
- How doth the lady?
