What are your relationships in the play?
I have a very dysfunctional relationship with my brother. I tried to kill him once but it did not work because Claudio jeopardised it. Now my brother has taken Claudio under his wing, therefore I detest Claudio and want him to suffer. I don't have much of a relationship with any of the women in the play, and if I were to have one it would be completely physical with no emotional connection. Conrade is the character in the play who I am closest to, like me he is quite evil and enjoys causing trouble. I enjoy plotting against others with him, he is probably my only friend. I pretend to like Borachio because he is useful to me as he is poor and so with a bit of money I can get him to do whatever I like.

Who do you openly like? Who do you openly dislike? Who do you secretly like? And who do you secretly dislike?
I openly like Conrade. People know that I dislike my brother and Claudio, however I try and make people believe that I like him in order to get what I want from them and at one point in the play I succeed in doing this. I pretend to like Borachio in order to get him to do what I want, I do not dislike him but I have less respect for him than Conrade and I think of myself as better than him.
