Much Ado About Nothing Love Analysis

One of the most complicated experiences in life, love cannot be precisely defined, but some basic indications help to characterize the feeling. Love is a very deep, passionate affection one person has for another or a relationship of the same nature that implies a unique intensity of emotion. It requires an especially strong connection and compatibility between two people, usually identified by a total understanding and respect for each other and a fundamental similarity in ideology. Love can also be seen in the way it alters people’s normal behavior; when someone is in love, the object of their affection seems like the most important thing in the world, and they do extreme things for that feeling to be requited. Love cannot easily be

Some would say that love is patient, love is gentle, love is understanding. Others would say that love is brittle, cold, and stubborn. In Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare portrays love in a negative light. He shows this in Hero the events that Hero undergoes throughout the play, giving her affection on a silver platter at the expense of her happiness and reputation. Shakespeare depicts love as shallow, fickle, and disloyal through the events Hero experiences.

            Although there were several themes in this book, a major theme seemed to dominate the story.  This theme is the importance of love and loss in a male emale relationship.  These two lovers were so absorbed in each other that they needed no one else in their life.

Claudio’s love for Hero appeared very suddenly and many of his actions show that he is very quick to let her go. For example, when Don John tricks Claudio into thinking Don Pedro wooed Hero for himself, Claudio said, “Farewell therefore Hero!” (Shakespeare 23). Rather than defending his relationship he is fully capable of parting ways immediately. It is safe to assume that if he truly loved her, he would have fought for her affection, or at the least, have a formal break up. Another example is when Leonato says, “My brother hath a daughter, Almost the copy of my child that’s dead, And she alone is heir to both of us” (Shakespeare 90-91). At this point, he believes that Hero is dead and this is when Leonato informs Claudio about another person he can marry that is similar to her. He accepts the

Earlier in the play, a scene was described where Borachio and Don John plan to trick Claudio into thinking that Hero is diwsloyal because of a man in her chamber the night prior to her wedding. After the stated quote, the intent is to try and trick Claudio and show that Hero is disloyal when she is actually not. This quote presents significance by describing the overall trait of the entire act and scene which is the trickery and sabotage of Borachio and Don John upon the hapiness of all of the other characters in the play. Overall, the previouly described scene, in part with an already confused Claudio, makes this quote important to the wedding of Claudio and

The most pivotal scene in the play (act 4 scene 1) is between the marriage of Leonato's daughter Hero to Claudio. In this scene the blush of Hero after being said to have slept with another man is set too signify “guiltiness not of modesty” to Claudio. However the Friar of the town believes that Hero's blush is that of her “innocence and virtue.”

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.

The topic of love is widely discussed among many platforms, poetry, film, and novel to name a few. Romantic comedies alone make up a large portion of “love stories.” Shakespeare uses the form of a romantic comedy to discuss his own ideas of love. His ideas of love are present in his play, Much Ado About Nothing. Many of Shakespeare’s ideas are still relevant so far after his time.

Overall, I would say that the main point in this film was to portray the other side of bushido. Bushido being the way of the samurai and focusing on loyalty and dignity, was the code by which samurai were expected to live. However, in Kobayashi’s portrayal of samurai could be a bit controversial. First, Hanshiro’s son in law sold his samurai sword in an attempt to gather money to pay for a doctor for his wife and son who have fallen ill. The fact that he sold his sword is a big deal, as a samurai’s sword has a large value, so the fact that he sold his sword could be considered disgraceful. However, the fact that the three-other samurai forced him to kill himself in an agonizing way, in an attempt to humiliate him for his actions is also very controversial. Then there is the fact that Hanshiro, the main character, is seeking revenge for what they did to his son-in-law which ultimately lead to the death of his daughter and grandson. The falseness of some samurai is shown when they refuse to accept the fact that Hanshiro was able to defeat three high level samurai, who would rather fake an illness then let everyone see that their topknots had been cut off by a lowly rōnin. The last scene with the armor falling during the battle and then

in Much Ado About Nothing there may be something lost in translate, but slander would not be one of those things. In this film, they showcase two different kinds of slander. The way they are presented is in two completely ways. Like (author’s name) explained in his article (articles name) that there was a different mood between the two scenes where they was slander. With Hero, it was devastating to the family and to her name. Where as with Dogberry it was seen as comically.
