Confession to Don Pedro

Oh dear brother! You are the spite that drives my life. You know that it is your wrongdoing that I am the way I am? Mother always loved you best - you were consistently faultless, and I could not rival your glory. It is very well that you grew up to be loved by all, and that I, the poor bastard brother of Don Pedro the great, have such evil and malice in my heart. It is so tiresome, this lifestyle of mine! If not for you, friend, I would have grown up to have wit and be brave and fair. How dare you take this away from me, you knave! I wish you would hie and rid yourself from my life. It would be the most sensible course of acton for you to take. Then maybe I could right myself. But no, you are without fail, everywhere that I am! I have always envied you, but that does not change my hatred for you, brother.

Act 2, Scene 2 - From My Perspective

This morrow I found out the most parlous news. Claudio is to marry Hero! How canker'd love is. Thank the Lord that my best server Borachio may pass for a wise man - he thought of a tyrannous yet brave plan to beguile Claudio into thinking Hero is marred and impure. As he was recounting this mischievous scheme to me, I could not have helped thinking how affrighted I am that he shall be found out, and that I will be punished for ruining this wedding. Nevertheless, I shall now go prepare myself to lure Claudio and my dear brother to the wickedness that is Borachio and Margaret in Hero's window this night. How witty dear Borachio is!
