    Much ado about nothing is a William Shakespeare written play base on comedy‚ loyalty‚ and the most important‚ the Romanic relationship between the two main couples. However‚ Shakespeare makes this very apparent that true love is merely full of loyalty‚ commitment‚ and passion.

    feelings toward marriage. Benedick’s response to Don Pedro’s statement is humorous which is interesting because it is only when Benedict becomes serious does he fall in love. Benedick‚ in a way‚ tries too hard to show his distance from love. He argues too much against it. The image of the savage bull bearing the yolk relates back to Benedick’s humor‚ how both are contained once married does not make marriage sound all that inviting. An interesting pattern in many stories is two people who seemingly cannot

    The idea of a female protector standing in for men is apparent in Much Ado About Nothing‚ where Beatrice takes on a similar role to Paulina. How ever emphatic her words are in defence of Hero‚ Beatrice understands that as a women she is severely limited in her influence. ‘If I were a man’‚ she says‚ ‘I would eat his [Claudio’s] heart in the marketplace’‚ but as it is‚ she can ultimately do little directly in support of her cousin except ‘die a woman grieving’ (4.1.321). Once again‚ the heroine is

    “The Taming of the Shrew”‚ a play written by famous author and playwright William Shakespeare‚ can be seen as a prime example of a play that is both challenging and enjoyable. The recurring theme of gender inequality is almost always evident in any dealings with characters from the opposite sex‚ from marriage arrangements to simple conversation‚ this idea can be seen outstanding. Shakespeare treats women in a very decrying fashion to make them look more like a property rather than a person and then

In the two scenes of ‘Much ado about nothing’‚ that I am going to go in more detail of‚ have two different opinions that the characters portray about marriage.
