Berowne's Speech and Rosaline's Explaination

Berown proves men aren't forsworn, by loving the French ladies by saying "My eyes are then no eyes, nor I Biron: O, but for my love, day would turn to night". If he loved the women his day would be turn around.  He goes on to continue talking about how a woman's praise is short lived and not worth it.  I take this personally.  The effect of the similies that are used to make the reader understand the depth of how he feels about this situation are very strong.  He seems to really want to communicate that he is not forsworn and doesn't care about the women. 

Rosaline is very smug throughout this scene.  Many of the girls are but she seems very self-righteous.  She believes she is the best and that gives her the reason to mock others.  She also seems to blame the men for her mocking them. Like they were the reason for the mockery.  No matter what this man does for her she believes she can mock him because she believes she can control him.  While the other girls seem weary of the switch it seems Rosaline sees this as a game.  It is fun for her.  It really cruel though.
