    Beatrice delivers a monologue where she considers what to do with a man who is neither a youth nor a full man due to his lack of a beard. She decides she will not be with any man who is less than a man, so she will take sixpence as a promise that he will grow a beard to prove his manhood. She will not be with any man who must defer to his father rather than having his own identity, and sees men as simply made of earth rather than another metal, so does not want to be dominated by a piece of arrogant dirt or have to account for her life to a piece of stubborn dirt. In the end, she states that she will take no man as her uncle

    MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

    MONOLOGUE:
    BEATRICE:
    What should I do with him? Dress him in my apparel and make him
    my waiting – gentle woman?
    He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard
    is less than a man; and he that is more than a youth is not for me;
    and he that is less than a man, I am not for him: therefore, I will even
    take sixpence in earnest of the beard – ward, and lead his apes into
    hell.
    It is my cousin’s duty to make curtsey and say “Father, as it please
    you” – but yet for all that, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow, or
    else make another curtsy, and say, “Father, as it please me.”
    Not till God make men of some other metal than earth. Would it not
    grieve a woman to be over – mastered with a piece of valiant dust?
    To make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?
    No uncle, I’ll none.
