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.

Very good diary entries!
Benedick seems really in love.
For a compariosn, see John Z's and Christina A's entries.
You really focus on what benedick feels for Beatrice. The way you express about Don Pedro's sneeky way of making Benedick feel because of the way he tells him that she doesnt like him
Good entry! I do think that Benedick is really in love with Beatrice which of course we will all find out or already have found out that he really does love Beatrice.
If I to go with your diary of Benedick , I feel that he is really in love with Beatrice and Beatrice loves him too and wants his attention desperately. But she has a weird way of expressing it. She is so uncomfortable to say just simple words like, Hi how are you ? or how it was there is the battle. Instead she burst him with harsh words. Her egoist nature doesn’t permit to express her passion. Don’t you think Benedick is also not wise enough to read her mind?
