The Cold Wrath of Beatrice

"I would rather hear my dog bark at a crow than hear a man tell me he loves me."  The animalistic qualities of this quote supplement Beatrice's dislike of the three words I Love You.  Every woman in her life time is longing for those words to be said to her by a man.  Beatrice would rather hear a noise that is nothing but irritating to a regular person, than to hear a man say they love her because she is "disgusted" by the idea of love.  In the end, Beatrice does ultimately want love in her life and she gains it through Benedick.
