Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'
English scaffold Essay:
The themes of deception, mistaken identity, appearance and reality and love are clearly shown through Shakespeare in his comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and through the characters Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero. Deception is brought through by the friends of Benedick and Beatrice. Mistaken identity is evident as Margret she was supposedly Hero. Appearance and reality was conveyed through Hero, Benedick and Beatrice. The theme of love was clearly put across due to the relationship of Hero and Claudio and Beatrice and Benedick. We are able to watch the themes of deception, mistaken identity, appearance and reality and love through the characters of the play ‘Much Ado About Nothing’
In Shakespeare’s comedy ‘MAAN’, he explores the theme of deception. In an amusing and harmless manner, Benedick and Beatrice are deceived by their close friends in a plan leading the two to believe that the other is completely in love with them. The audience are aware of the playful ruse, which Benedick has fallen victim to although he remains oblivious to their scheme; in Act 2 Scene 3, it is an example of dramatic irony used in the play. The prince, Don Pedro, lets the audience know of the playful deception “let there be the same net spread for her...The sport will be when they hold one an opinion of another’s dotage” Benedick’s lack of knowledge of the deception is evident in his soliloquy “ This can be no trick...Love me? Why it must be requited”. Beatrice’s certainty in the identical deception is conveyed through as her language changes from prose to verse. In Act 1 Scene 3, Beatrice begins to speak in prose, while her “Merry war” with Benedick is still in play “Why, he is the Prince’s jester, a very dull fool...” During Act 3 Scene 1, another deception is when Beatrice’s friends deceive her, as Beatrice begins to talk in verse, “Benedick, love on, I will requite thee, taming my wild heart to thy loving hand”. This change conveys how greatly she has
