Act 3 Sc 5

Dogberry and his malapropisms:

" Marry, sir, i would have some confidence with you that decerns you dearly " (concerns)

Above all, Dogberry wished to communicate to Leonato to let him know what Don John and Borachio have done, except he wishes to tell him in a way to present himself as successful and intelligent, ironically it is is overwhelmed idiocy and constant use of malapropisms which prevent him in getting his point across; instead, he succeeds in angering Leonato. Infact, Leonato reluctantly gives them the title of having "all [his] tediousness". Failing to understand, Dogberry and Verges, are honoured.
