Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a play about individuals seeking love. But, the character I will analyze has nothing to do with love, unless it is the love for chaos. This character is Don John, an illegitimate prince, forever be in his betters shadows, seeking to rise from the darkness into the stage of power. Don John, the reincarnation of anti-hero in the most classical aspect of petty and vindictive. Shakespeare introduced Don John in a quiet and cloudy manner, the most mysterious of the crowd, because he introduced himself as " I am not of many words." then only showed up in scenes of scheming and dissension. Such as, "Come, come, let us thither: this may prove food to my displeasure. That young start-up hath all the glory of my overthrow: if I can cross him any way, I bless myself every

Beatrice and Benedick as a Couple in William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a Shakespeare play set in Mecina. It is a comedy, about Don Pedro and his friends. The play focuses on the relationships of the characters, especially that of Beatrice/Benedick and Claudio/Hero. The two romances follow two different ideas, one an average romance in Shakespeare's day, the other a not so average romance. Beatrice and Benedick's history together is made clear from the start, when Beatrice tells the messenger bringing news of Benedick's return, that he 'is no less than a stuffed man', implying that he is very full of himself.

His casting creates focus on him in the beginning of the play as someone to notice, just as it does the end of the play. When everyone is engaging in the celebration after Claudio and Hero’s marriage Don Pedro and a few other characters remain separate from the festivities. Don Pedro, throughout the play, is an outsider. Even though he had moments where he is conspiring with his men and playing match-maker, he still stands above all of the other characters. This demonstrates that he will never truly fit in with the other members since he in a sense commands all of them.

Much Ado About Nothing illustrates a kind of deliberately puzzling title with twists and turns. It is a play that greatly combines different elements such as hilarity, melancholy, love and marriage. Focusing on the two characters who represent these elements best, namely Beatrice and Benedick make this play much more exciting. Beatrice and Benedick both swear never to marry and to live their lives happy being single. Benedick is a smart, witty, handsome guy. He always has a response to everyone's conversations. He is the type of person to be the last one in the fight to say something. Benedick believes that marriage leads to trapping men. Beatrice on the other hand often interrupts and speaks her mind without any concern.

One of the most intriguing characters from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing must be Beatrice. An intelligent, well-spoken (and, perhaps more interesting, outspoken) young woman, she is an almost exact opposite of her cousin, Hero. What makes Beatrice so different than what one expects of a woman during Shakespeare’s time? Why did Shakespeare decide to make her such a strong female character? It begs the question of what women were actually like in the Tudor era, and if she was really so radical a character.

This takes place in the early morning as Hero and Margaret are discussing about what they should wear for the marriage between Hero and Claudio. Later on, Beatrice enters the room and she acts strangely similar to the way Benedick was acting like before. Subsequently, Margaret casually mocks Beatrice about Benedick but she does it in a way that will not make Beatrice suspicious. Lastly, they all exit because Don Pedro, Claudio, Benedick, and Don

Much Ado about Nothing predominately revolves around the endeavours of two couples, the younger of which in more distinction; Claudio and Hero. As many could say that another element of Shakespearean comedies could be love, it would seem a more defined term is the love between two younger people, this young couple in particular then faces hindrances that are thrown their way, eventually working through them. Whereas there is still Beatrice and Benedick who work to overcome their egomaniacal ways and eventually initiate a romance, it would seem Claudio and Hero’s complications seem to have more significance to the storyline of the play. This is also due to the fact that the elements of comedy and key plot points are in relation to their complications, such as being the younger couple and facing the mistaken identity ordeal.
