The article by Michael Binyon and the cartoon by Tom Toles make the claim that President Obama did not deserve to win a Nobel Peace Prize at the beginning of his presidency. Toles and Binyon share similar viewpoint, so they approach the subject in similar ways. Both of the speakers describe President Obama’s lack of accomplishments at the time he received the award. They both appear to pose strong arguments about this subject; however, the article by Michael Binyon seems to be stronger than the cartoon. Even though both provide effective arguments about the topic, “Comment: Absurd Decision on Obama Makes a Mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize” seems to pose the strongest argument because Michael Binyon was able to develop his claim and effectively impact his audience using background information, evoking strong emotions, and comparing President Obama to deserving winners of the past.

The three men are questioned and the one tells the truth because he thinks she is dead and he is brought to the Governor of Messina house where both the Leonato and Claudio learn the truth. Leonato then tells Claudio if he is sorry for the death of Hero that he should go to the burial site of Hero to worship her that night and the next day come to his house to marry his dead brother’s wife to take over his house when he dies, when really he is just trying to see if Claudio still love Hero.

The three quotes connect because they all happened in Leonato's garden where they were trying to trick Benedick and Beatrice to fall in love. The first quote is how the whole thing started since Don Pedro, Leonato, and Claudio knew that Benedick was hiding behind the trees and eavesdropping, that was when they decided to say that Beatrice was in love with Benedick. The second quote connects since it’s showing Beatrice inviting Benedick to dinner which never happened before by reason of them hating each other. Then, Benedick repeats what Beatrice said to him and allows himself to believe that Beatrice is actually in love with him and he should try to love her. The trick that Don Pedro, Leonato, and Claudio planned worked out in consideration

Shakespeare’s fundamental understanding of language is, arguably, what makes the imaginative design of his various works so transcendent. With layer upon layer of meaning, his words leave an infinite amount of room for speculation and analysis. This legacy shines particularly bright within the Shakespearean comedy Much Ado About Nothing. The entire play is driven by witty banter and passionate speeches – even the play’s title is given dimension through Shakespeare’s choice of words! The words “nothing” and “noting” were pronounced in a similar way around the time Shakespeare wrote this play, so it is reasonable to assume that he was implying a connection between the driving force of the play (deceit) and “noting” when he chose the title. This connection is supported by multiple instances of “noting” throughout the play, though a particular passage from the final act and scene of this play in which Beatrice and Benedict become engaged (5.4.74-98) especially exemplifies this connection. This passage in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing plays on the concept of “noting” in a literal sense to exemplify the imaginative design of the title’s designation: the characters create a bizarre set of circumstances out of “noting.”

Lying is complicated in that the effects of it vary based on the motivations and character of the one who tells it. This is prominently displayed in William Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing with foil characters Don Pedro and Don John. Don Pedro is motivated by the idea of being a good friend, and, as a result, his lies have a positive effect on those affected. In contrast, Don John, the play’s antagonist, is motivated by revenge to lie. When he lies, these falsehoods have negative consequences, which mirror his intentions. Thus, foil characters Don Pedro and Don John illustrate that lies motivated by good intent have positive effects while lies motivated with ill intent have negative consequences.

Benedick’s Change of Heart by the End of Act 2 Scene 3 of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing

His words cause Hero’s social death and, as everyone besides Margaret, Leonato, Benedick, and the Friar think, literal death. It was this death that caused the understanding in the depth of slander and

“If this doesn’t move me to take pity on her,I’m a horri(of a person) in a very unhappy or unfortunate state.ble person.”In Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, Beatrice is the foil character of Benedick by which Benedick’s metamorphosis is illuminated through Beatrice’s bull-headed behavior;causing interminable complications in their relationship.Their equivalent and antithesis.From the beginning, Beatrice was hinting her feelings towards Benedick,trying not to ruin her eminent reputation for not loving Benedick anymore,and they still constantly badger each other. Towards the end they perceived their love for each other.Beatrice indiscriminately marries Benedick,but knows that she loves him.

An unhealthy desire to uphold a certain reputation and status in society was the root cause of the dysfunctional nature of Much Ado About Nothing. The need to develop an elite social status and greatly admired reputation caused an increase in the lack of truth and correctness in people’s opinions and view of each other.

Don John's malevolent plan to ruin Claudio and Hero's wedding was to take effect the night before they were to wed. The malicious Don John constructed, or rather misconstructed, the scheme that insinuated Claudio's belief in Hero's faithlessness. It is Don John who reports to Claudio and Don Pedro that Hero is having an affair, and he who stage-manages an elaborate charade featuring his own henchman Borachio and an unwitting stand-in for Hero to lend credence to this fiction. Perhaps the most significant thing to be noted in connection with this deception is that the spectator does not witness the crucial scene in which Claudio overhears the counterfeit exchanges between Margaret and Borachio that persuade him of Hero's guilt. We learn of this episode only at second hand, when Borachio boasts of his exploit (Lucking).

Shakespeare, is known to be “the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.” Being the greatest does not always mean winning everyone’s approval. In the article by Peter Beech, “Much Ado About Nothing Much” highlights the fact that Shakespeare’s work is difficult in todays society as well as different; ultimately, questioning as to why his material is still being taught. In today’s society, language is constantly changing, therefore people are finding his slang hard to understand. What would be considered humorous during the Elizabethan time, might not be understood today because the Shakespearean drama is far behind. Personally, I believe that Shakespearean language is very similar to a ill-humoured elderly
