it's been a very long time since I last read/watched Much Ado about Nothing, but wasn't it implied that Beatrice and Benedick had a relationship in the past and that they still had residual feelings for each other because of it?

/shrug/ I think I do recall that bit. It reconciles the relationship a little for me, but I don't know. I guess the root of what I'm getting at is, something about the play just didn't feel sincere to me. Don't get me wrong, I think Petruchio is a slimy git, and in my head-canon Katarina poisoned his drink after making her little speech at the end, but if nothing else, I felt the plot of Shrew was less shallow and rushed.

I guess my issue had less to do with the main couple and more that the play as a whole didn't 'resonate' with me the way Taming of the Shrew did. Personal preference, then.

Yup.

Pedro: Come, lady; you have lost the heart of Signior Benedick.

Beatrice: Indeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile; and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one: marry, once before he won it of me with false dice, therefore your grace may well say I have lost it.

Plus her comments about him ending with "a jade's trick". These are people who've loved before, been burned by it, and learn to overcome that.
