How do these questions link into a set of response paragraphs?Claudio's view on Hero linking into how Margaret's role of dishonouring Hero is a presentation of women as being very intimately connected to their sexual beingHow Beatrice breaks away from this expectation with her interactions with Benedick
Conclusion:How does Shakespeare present women throughout, how do all these presentations of characters come to conclusion and how does the ending contribute/counter this?
