Oh. You've never seen Shakespeare before, then? Because the thing of it is, his characters don't speak like we do, it's mostly poetry, with lots of metaphor and allusion, and then a good measure of wit and comedy, too.
It can be confusing, the first time you encounter it.
But were you able to get a sense of how Beatrice and Benedick are similar Dolly and Guy? Even a little?
