Fix these first few Dogberry Malapropism
1. "Marry, sir, I would have some confidence with you that decerns your nearly." ("decerns" but means concerns)
2. "Good Verges, sir, speaks a little off the matter: an old man, sir, and his wits are not so blunt as, God help, I would desire they were;" ("blunt" but means sharp)
3. "Comparisons are odorous: palabras, neighbour Verges." ("odorous" but means arduous)
Questions
1. What does Dogberry's want about all to communicate to Leonato in this scene? Why? How does this impede the discovery of the crime against Hero?
Dogberry only wants to tell Leonato how great he is a watchman. He doesn't realise he can stop the tragedy and crime against Hero happening. He does this because he wants to further his career and get recognised for what a great according to him job he does. Dogberry should be telling him that he's arrested the two men who started the crime against Hero.
2. What is the great honor which Leonato bestows upon Dogberry and Verges?
Leonato says that they 'are tedious' meaning they are the most boring people he's ever met, yet they take it as a joke and think that they are given the honor of something else.
