I think that Benedick feels something else then what he says and acts like. I really think he still has feeling still for Beatrice but I think he tries to lie to himself and says he thinks she is annoying and as he says in she is a “rare parrot-teacher’ in act 1 scene 1. I noticed that he still had feelings for Beatrice when he over heard Claudio, Leonato, and Don Pedro speak about how Beatrice still loved him and is only playing a game to make Benedick to feel that she only feels hatred towards him but she is dying for his love. After the skirmish of wit I think he felt a bit hurt because he would have never thought that Beatrice would speak about him like that, but he thinks that Beatrice didn't recognize him but she did and that is why she spoke like that to like pick at him and get on his nerves.
Before leaving to warI will be leaving soon and I don't know how I feel about her, should I still care for her or should I just forget her and if she crosses my path I ignore her or just act rude, I feel confused and I don't know how she will feel if I lose my life during this war and she probably never know how I feel about her, will she might hate me because he would think I don't love her or even feel anything towards her, but then if I act like I don't care, I will only be lying to myself but then I don't look like a love sick puppy to my friends or people around me. I don't know what to do and I wonder if she feels the same. I hope I live through this war and be able to find out the truth
Evening of Act 1I cant believe she did that, how can she just speak like that about me to other people. I wonder what she has told others and the lies she probably has spread about me. I cant believe I felt something for that, that I don't know what to call her, my brain is running crazy right now with different thoughts. I cant stand see her face at this moment. Why would she say that? Why would she say that to me even if she didn't know it was I that she was speaking to and she thought I was someone else? She hates me that much? I wish I never met her or even maybe love her in my heart? Now I know what I need to do or even feel. Right now I must not let anyone know that still wanted her even before I left to war. I must now go somewhere to cool down and when I do cool down I will write down more thoughts.

I think that Shakespeare’s personal circumstances such as where he lives reflected on his writing because he speaks about in his plays sorrow, being heart broken, but also he would write about things that were happening to him or to those around him that he would witness to, in the movie when he was writing Romeo and Juliet, he would write about what was happening between him and viola or the feelings he felt about viola were described in his writing for the play Romeo and Juliet. The clothes he would wear or people from his town would be the way his characters would be dressed but only in a similar way not totally the same. I also think people around him would reflect on his writing because in one scene of the movie when William isn’t sure his play will be about, he speaks to Christopher Marlowe or as many called him “kit”, who gave actually gave Will the plot of Romeo and Juliet and gave him the idea of the love story other than the comedy he was suppose to be writing. Also the actors in his play would express how they felt about the play and also how they felt about their own part in the play in which William would try to fit in their concerns and what not in the play such as the character that ben Affleck is playing who is always complaining about his character not being in the scenes enough in which gives William ideas about what would happen to the character a bit more.
In the movie his rank is very low in which he writes about in his plays. William is a actor and a commoner, which means William has to sell his material to theater owners, which I think is funny because William would play games with these men, he would have the owners give him the money and whoever he felt was worthy enough to have his play would get the material while the other would lose the money that he gave to William. In which one of the owner was actually Rosaline husband, who is the woman that William is having a affair with and is probably having affairs with the whole town by the look of some of the scene. Also his rank actually gave William ideas for his play like for example in Romeo and Juliet he writes about how both families were enemies and Romeo and Juliet were not to see each other even if they were in love and this plot had reflected on how William was not to come near Viola because she was to marry Lord Wessex and she was in a higher rank than Will, but that did not stop Viola and William from seeing each other and falling in love with each other.
His view of love was different from how people around him viewed love, he viewed love as someone that would make him feel special and he wouldn’t feel unsure about their relationship but he was in and out of love because he would keep picking the wrong type of women. In the beginning of the movie William was experiencing writers block so when he went to his therapist and was speaking about how he has not experience the real feeling of love for a long time and that is why he thought that he could not be inspired to write another story, Will said in the scene that he felt that his quill was dried up, that was when his therapist gave him the bangle with a snake in it and said to “feed it your name and that whoever wore would be the one you will love and would inspire your writing”, which in my opinion was totally bogus and it ended up being true, he gave it to mistress Rosaline and she ended up being a whore. William after giving Rosaline the bangle began to write again because he thought he found his love and started to write the play “Romeo and Rosaline”, but he later found Rosaline in bed with another man, in which he is a bit of depression and this is when viola comes to audition for the play “romeo and Rosaline” dressed as a man and called herself “tom kent” and that is when William comes to meet viola and falls in love with her and he begins to write Romeo and Juliet with no problem, and he began to write with his heart and show all his feelings in the play.
His view on women in the beginning of the movie was he would hook up with different women to figure out if he felt anything other then sexual feelings for them, which he kept falling for the wrong one like he describe his wife leaving him and moving away. I felt that William and the men around him felt that women were worth really nothing, they were just women who cheated on their husband with other men or they were just a sex toy to fool around with and then just toss them to the side. Which I felt that William felt that way after his wife had twins and then never pleasing him in bed and then leaving three months later with his children, 100 miles away as he described it. William changed his opinion of women after he met Viola because he finally felt that he found his soul mate and partner who would inspire him to write more wonderfully. Also Viola to him was his writing partner because he would show viola the scenes and she would put her ideas into it also. William felt that Viola was very different from other women because she would go for what she wanted even if she was a women and in that era women were not allowed to act or do anything other than be a house wife or like viola a prize procession for her family and were to marry whoever the parents decided was good enough for her even if she did not love him.
