Key characters:Hero - ClaudioBeatrice - BenedickMargaret
Formulating key responses to the question in a logical setup:How do excerpts from Claudio about Hero present Hero as a woman?How does Beatrice break away from the expectations of women?How is Margaret's role in the dishonouring of Hero reflective of views on women?
How do these questions link into a set of response paragraphs?Claudio's view on Hero linking into how Margaret's role of dishonouring Hero is a presentation of women as being very intimately connected to their sexual beingHow Beatrice breaks away from this expectation with her interactions with Benedick
Conclusion:How does Shakespeare present women throughout, how do all these presentations of characters come to conclusion and how does the ending contribute/counter this?
