The 2 characters who would win a battle of wit

Write a blog about a character you find either interesting or appealing. Think of characters from other stories who have something in common and explain the similarity. Think of a real person you are reminded of and explain why.
The Characters that most interest me in Much Ado About Nothing are Benedick and Beatrice. Some moments of the play may lack some amount of exitement, but when these two hit the stage, it is like lightning. You just can't ignore them because it is so entertaining to listen to them. Especially in the first half of the book the two characters are hateful of each other and get into such funny word battles that you don't want to stop reading. A short but good example is this little bit from one of their conversations.
BEATRICE
I wonder that you will still be talking, SigniorBenedick: nobody marks you.
BENEDICK
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living?
BEATRICE
Is it possible disdain should die while she hathsuch meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you comein her presence.
This is almost like listening to a conversation on a high school campus. Two people involved in a conversation and then one makes a witty remark to the other. It is almost even worse than listening to high schoolers because they act like little kids at first. The only part that enables you to know they are actually really smart is the words they use. Even though they are bickering at each other, it is a very entertaining form of conversation. Each line they say to the other is like stabbing a metaphorical knife in the others back, but in reality they are just having a battle of the brains.
I think it is awesome that they are set up together because they really are so good at arguing against each other, that they would make a good team. I can truly say I would not want to debate against them even if my partner was Mr. Guthrie. They would most likely take so many personal stabs at anyone they debate that you would not want to be near them.
Another thing I thought about was how cool their child would be. I can imagine their child being good at everything and being a really good debater. It would be like putting both Beatrice's and Benedick's wit into one person. I would definately want to be friends with the Benedick family because I would not want to put up with all of the word battles. Plus, I am not as fast as either Benedick or Beatrice when it comes to a response to something someone says to you.

Past Shakespeare experience

So far in my life I have not been the best of friends with Shakespeare. I have always wanted to read some of his popular works because they are so famous, but I usually have trouble understanding his writing style. I have read some Shakespeare throughout high school because it has been part of my English classes. I like the story idea's behind his works and I enjoyed reviewing the books in class, but I do not like reading his books because I have a hard time following the text. I liked reading Othello and Hamlet because my English classes always reviewed the plot during class which helped me follow the story. I think it is mainly the vocabulary and the sentence structure that I have a hard time following sometimes, but when the stories are in plain English I enjoy the story.
One of the reasons I am taking this Shakespeare class is so I can get better at understanding Shakespeare's plays. I figure that if I read more of his works and get some practice translating his works to regular English in my head, then his works will be easier for me to read in the future. It is also good to be able to say that you have read Shakespeare and know a lot about his popular plays.
Overall in the past my experience with Shakespeare has not been the best and that is why I am taking this class. If i can further my knowledge and ability related to Shakespeare then I will be happy that I took the class.
Another experience related to Shakespeare is that when I went to London I went to the new globe theater. I did not see a play, but I went on a tour. I thought it was kinda cool and would have been better if I knew more about Shakespeare. I think Shakespeare produced some good plays and I think it is important that I learn something about them.
