Much Ado About Nothing By William Shakespeare

 

Much Ado About Nothing

By William Shakespeare

 This is a play about misunderstandings and also about love.

Hero is set to be married to Claudio, but two others decide to set her up as a wanton so the marriage will not happen. It works, but the set-up is uncovered and they end up marrying.

The side plot of Hero's lady Beatrice who is constantly picking on Benedick, and vice versa, is the better story. The two are set up in a different way by Hero and her maidservant. The bickering and jibes back and forth between Beatrice and Benedick are fun and funny.

I liked the play a lot. I think Shakespeare's comedies might be preferable to his tragedies for me.
