Reminds me of his attitude towards Benedict about falling in love with Hero. \u201cLet me show you something new.\u201d Claudio in this stage of the play is over being a soldier, and is ready to settle down. Fair Hero (and her father\u2019s fortune) catches his eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. This song is about a girlfriend cheating on her boyfriend with other boys. It brings to mind how Claudio \u201cwitnessed\u201d (offstage) \u201cHero\u201d have an affair with another man. The singer addresses his anger towards his former lover without acknowledging he may also be at fault, singing \u201cNo one will love you like I did\u2026some come on wear that\/Scarlet letter.\u201d \u201cScarlet letter\u201d of course refers to the book of the same name by Natheniel Hawthorn, wherein the main character is forced to wear a scarlet \u2018A\u2019, branding her as an adulterer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. This song is different in that it\u2019s more forgiving that some of the other songs on this list. It\u2019s still the man breaking up with the woman, but rather than blaming the woman for her alleged promiscuity, the song instead laments the way the two are no longer compatible and the singer needs to move on from the relationship. You might be asking, \u201cHow is this related to Claudio?\u201d Well, it reminds me of the way the others around him tell him needs to move on from the relationship despite it only lasting about a week. \u201cBut I need you to be\/my ancient history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4. Another song bemoaning the incapability of a couple. \u201cNow we\u2019re singing different songs,\u201d is an interesting way of interpreting that the couple no longer understands each other. When Benedict and Beautrice fight, they are an even match, and are quick to use their sharp tongues to banter, but when Claudio and Hero encounter trouble, it is one-sided, abrupt. It really makes you wonder what the rest of their marriage will be like.<\/p>\n<p>5. Another break-up song full of vitriol at the woman, supposedly after the woman has treated him poorly. The lyrics \u201cThanks for treating me like every boy you meet\/please come in and take a seat\/here\u2019s the part where I learn and you shall teach\/on how to treat people like a piece of meat,\u201d implies that the woman is promiscuous, a belief that harkens back to christianity in that women should be pure and free of sin, and enjoying sex makes them sinful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. Yet another song about a woman cheating on a man (I\u2019m starting to sense a pattern here). However, this one reminds me of how even though Hero protests her innocence following his accusations, Claudio refuses to believe her. The foreshadowing for Claudio\u2019s bull-minded rage and subsequent tunnel vision is foreshadowed as early as Act 2, Scene 1, wherein upon Don John\u2019s gulling, he declares, \u201cTrust no agent for beauty is a witch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. About Hero after her supposed death. The way the singer expresses his remorse about not being able to go through a different \u201cwindow\u201d and experience what could have been reminds me vividly of Claudio\u2019s remorse and sorrow upon his realization that Hero is \u201cdead.\u201d Through unopened windows, bound to my heart\/Fantasy so close, feels so afar\/But I long to break the lock and live among the life we lost.\u201d Luckily for Claudio, Hero isn\u2019t dead, and apparently still wants him, and they get that happily ever after<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
