Much Ado About Nothing
Shakespeare has composed many great plays from dramatic tragedies and intrigue, to whimsical comedies. From the plays I have read Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite. One element that I find in Much Ado About Nothing which makes it a great play, are the different levels of conflicts, and witty dialoged. Shakespeare is masterful at incorporated political concerns of his day, and human nature that has remained timeless. The way that he writes his characters draws the reader in, even if there is no character to relate to they do find one to root for. The play also has a perfect balance of harmony and discord
I honestly enjoy the discord that goes on through the entire play, namely the war of wit betwixt Beatrice and Benedick. …show more content…

Throughout the play false reports are used for good and ill. In regards to Beatrice and Benedick their friends put on a verbal play of the other dying of silent passion for the other. The man after putting laying out their bait remark to each other, “If he do not dote on her upon this, I will never trust my expectation” (Act 2 Scene 3, lines 198-199). The most novel, true to the time, and down right hysterical is the very last words that Benedick says, “I will go get her picture” (Act 2, Scene 3, line 245-246). A prominent concern that still exists today a person or group makes quick judgment based on small, even false details. Claudio not only allows himself to be blindly deceived by Don John once, but …show more content…

The second time is much more convincing of It comes down to a persons nature, is a person consistently good natured, honest, true, or deceiving, troublesome, and mischievous? In all circumstances, it is always of utmost importance to carefully listen to all sides of a situation. Yet, despite all common sense and logic Claudio with Don Pedro feast right out of Don John’s hands for a second time. This absurd behavior reminds me of a saying I read in a book which comes from an Italian proverb, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” (George Horne,

  • Theme Of Irony In Much Ado About Nothing

    690 Words  | 2 Pages

    Benedick and Beatrice both benefit from the deceit that they encounter. At first, both are enemies in a battle of insults and wit, until they are each fooled into thinking that the other loves them. When Benedick hears that Beatrice is supposedly attracted to him, he thinks that it is “a gull, but that the white-bearded fellow speaks it: knavery cannot, sure, hide itself in such reverence” (111). Little does he know, Leonato, the "white-bearded fellow," is also in on the joke (111). Benedick starts to admire her when he is aware that Beatrice might actually be attracted to himself, as well. She is also astonished when she first hears that he loves her. However, when Beatrice comes to terms with their affection, she hopes "Benedick [will] love on... And [she] Believe it better than reportingly" (134). In other words, she falls in love with Benedick as soon as she believes that he, too, is fond of her. They each start to fall in love with one another under the pretense that other was hiding their affection from them. Now that they are both in love, they start to open up to each other and prove that the deception they endured was worth it in the end.

    Don John’s follower Borachio reports to Don John, leading to a first attempt of deception to be set up by Don John. The news goes to Don John who says “ Come, come, let us thither. This is food to my displeasure. That young start-up hath all the glory of my overthrow. If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way…” (Shakespeare 15). Don John immediately sees this plan as an opportunity to do harm both to Claudio- honored for his actions against Don John- and to Don Pedro. Don John is setting the tone of his character as a villain while his brother Don Pedro, is the prince and is very active in the other character’s

    Beatrice and Benedick show their apparent distaste for each other right from the first scene. Beatrice mocks Benedick to the Governor of Messina, claiming that she always beats him in a battle of wits and the last time they crossed paths Benedict’s “five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man governed by one” (1,1,50). Clearly relishing resuming their ‘merry war’, Beatrice cuts Benedick down at the first opportunity, telling him “I wonder that you still will be talking, Signor Benedick, nobody marks you” (1,1,105). Incredulously, Benedick retorts, “what my dear lady distain! Are you yet living?” (1,1,95). So, the dynamic of the two is set and it goes on from there in the same vein. Yet, the reader, even at this early stage may ponder if the lady doth protest too much.

    This is brought out by the character foil of Don Pedro and Don John because it is Don John’s deceit that is highlighted by Don Pedro’s honesty that creates this conflict that truly makes this meaning clear. Also, Don Pedro’s honesty could have also solved the situation. If he was immediately honest with Leonato and told him of Don John’s accusation, Leonato could have dug deeper and found out that it was untrue. This brings out even more the ease with which the problem could have been avoided. Without this character foil, the meaning would not be as clear as it was.

  • Relationship Between Benedick And Beatrice In Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing

    1408 Words  | 3 Pages

    A large portion of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” greatly focuses on the relationship between Benedick and Beatrice: two characters who provide comedic relief and romance. Even from the beginning of the play, their bantering rapport shows a deep connection, a fact known by everyone in the play but them. Their relationship between each other is what strengthens each other’s character, and the more the story progresses, the more we see the changes of each character. Both are very round characters, since they both go through a huge transition. This is most evidently seen in Benedick, who shows a huge change due to his new found romance, because his love for Beatrice not only changes his

    Norrie Epstein has a dissimilar portrayal of the play related to Kermode’s. Epstein perceives this play as a “brilliant and dazzling romantic comedy”. She cogitates Beatrice to be one of Shakespeare’s “most loquacious and engaging heroines.” During the course of the play Benedick and Beatrice are frequently rude to one another when it is understandable that they are perfect for each other. Stated in not merely in Epstein’s analysis but as well as numerous scholars, in the Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare articulates the belief that individuals “love deepest” are frequently the ones most secured from it. Beatrice and Benedick absolutely encounter the necessities for that classification of hiding covering their sentiments.

  • Much Ado About Nothing Essay: An Exploration of Conformity

    939 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beatrice and Benedick seem to have had some relationship before the beginning of the book that ended badly.  This suggests that the initial situation between Beatrice and Benedick was one of mutual attraction, not of the overt hate they seem to flaunt at the beginning of the play.  Scorn of this magnitude is rare among people who dislike each other from the start, and seems very unlikely in a broken up couple.  In addition, both Beatrice and Benedick turned out to be very willing to abandon their smear campaigns as soon as they are convinced the other is aching for them.  It is ridiculous that one would abandon one's own principals to bail out a hated enemy in trouble.  This makes clear that their attitude toward each other is an act.  If this is so, what is the purpose of the act...

  • The Character of Don John in Much Ado About Nothing

    1305 Words  | 3 Pages

    With this ending and the treatment of Don John throughout the play, it is clear that he will never be able to mingle positively without suspicion, and with other characters. His harsh sentencing for deceit is hypocritical as almost every character in the play, from Don Pedro to Leonato himself have deceived people, albeit not with bad intentions like Don John. His reputation ever since he was born has dictated his life and his only alternative to being called an untrustworthy bastard is to become a “plain-dealing” villain, to forge himself his own identity. Although everyone believes he is a conniving villain, Don John’s just forcing himself to be one; to prove he has his own identity among the “posh” people of Messina even if it is antagonistic.

    Howard also mentions that the play seems to emphasize the consequences of sin, in this case, telling lies. She goes into the scene where Don John gets Margaret, Hero's servant, to play Hero as so to deceive Claudio. This would make Hero appear to be "easy" and make Claudio not want to marry her. Before all of this goes on, Don Pedro impersonates Claudio at the ball, to get in Hero's good graces. This is another lie. Even though Don Pedro's "trick" does more good than harm, the audience and readers are now given the job to cope with the morality of each situation. Most of Howard's reading of the play deals with the two impersonators (Don John and Don Pedro) and their sense of moral duty during this time. It also speaks to the social consequences of their practices. Howard suggests that Don John provides a moral reading because he is the chief antagonist in the play. She seems to say that in essence, he is evil and readers can identify and justify his actions because he is evil. Does that make it right? She also says that since he is the bastard brother of Don Pedro, his evil acts are ideologically significant because they identify the social disorder of those who have and those who have not.

  • Much Ado About Nothing

    William Shakespeare wrote the play the play ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ in approximately 1598/ 1599. The title ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ means ‘Much fuss about nothing’. This is a metaphor for the events including Hero and Claudio. One of the main issues raised is that back then and even now the fact that there is not enough of an equality and that women do not have enough self assertiveness. The way that Beatrice is represented in this play contrasts with the way that the women in Shakespeare’s time behaved. Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter, which helps the responder and the audience to understand his language – it gives emphasis on particular ideas. Whilst Much Ado About Nothing was written 400 years ago the relevance of Shakespeare’s issues of Love and Deception are still universal. The theme of love transcend on all things, Beatrice and Benedick relationship is an archetypal for unconditional and unwavering love. Deception is still a common occurrence in our modern world. Don John is the most deceptive character in the play as he deceives character after character though dramatic irony and the setting.

  • Benedick and Beatrice's Love in Much Ado About Nothing

    1362 Words  | 3 Pages

    Beatrice is by far the best character Shakespeare created; because of how effortlessly she lightens the mood. Beatrice is gifted with wit, humor, and strength uncommon in Shakespeare’s time. One can tell Beatrice’s drollness is at its best when speaking about or to Benedick. When Benedick greets her as “Lady Disdain” (I.i.109), she snaps, “Is it possible disdain should die, while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence” (I.i.110-113). Instead of taking offense, she welcomes the name and essentially tells Benedick that she acts contemptuous only because she’s talking to him. She adds that she’s agreeable with everyone, with him as an exception. Benedick retorts that she’s lucky that she doesn’t love him like all the other women he knows, because he loves no one especially not her. Beatrice responds, “A dear happiness to women, they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. ...
