* PaperThinDisguise: Subverted in the masked ball. Few of the masked gentlemen actually succeed in disguising themselves. Hero knows that the gentleman speaking to her is either Claudio or Pedro pretending to be him (having been informed by her father that Claudio intends to court her). Ursula instantly sees through Antonio's disguise because of his mannerisms, and Don John pretends to take Claudio for Benedick, Borachio having recognized Claudio by his stance. Only Benedick's disguise can be taken for successful and he hears more insults from Beatrice for his success. (And since what she says "about" Benedick is no different than how she speaks to him ''un''masked, it's still subject to actor interpretation.)

* RidiculouslyHighRelationshipStandards: There's this line from Benedict:
-->'''Benedick:''' One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall be of what color it please God.
** That last line is the punchline. Benedick will only compromise on one of the least important factors.
