Something that is hard for people to comprehend now is you weren’t always given these choices. Even though we now are able to chose how we live our lives now, one thing that has not changed are gender stereotypes and the roles that genders are expected to play in our society today. Shakespeare touched on a lot of these ideas in his play Much Ado About Nothing. The soldiers in this play come to the city, Messina, after they have finished fighting in a war. Instead of all of the soldiers having sex and partying, one of the soldiers falls in love, and wants to marry. The play talks about the ongoing struggle between the main characters, Benedick and Claudio, and the contradicting views on whether to marry or stay a bachelor which plagues society today.
