Love's Labour's Lost Prompts 4 and 5

Biron's Speach
In Biron’s big speech about Love he goes off on the three other scholars for swearing off women and then instantly falling in love.  He is found out to also be in love and goes on another tangent about how women are beauty and in order to do their studies of beauty and poetry the only way for them to be inspired is to fall in love and that is when they will learn the most.  I think they are just making up excuses to see women, but they do have a point, seeing women will inspire great works.  If they only did the scholarly studies like they said they would end up dry and dull like Holfernous, never knowing love so not to be able to use their skillz.  He uses many slick ways to say that men belong with women and they need not avoid it.
In their shoes
I can see me in Holfernous’s shoes, he is talking smack about inferior minds.  I can see me doing this, but never in English, more in Math I would talk smack about how they can’t do the simplest problems.  I would also sugarcoat it and not be entirely mean spirited about it.
