Born in a merry hour? No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.
-- Beatrice, "Much Ado About Nothing"

"Beatrice disrupts the conventional gender polarities of the period. She exhibits assertiveness, intelligence, verbal dexterity and strength of personality which had traditionally been associated with masculinity"...

"Beatrice...is a strong-willed woman whose strongest trait is her wit and cleverness. "
