Much Ado About Nothing: how the comedy is builtFree8:32Heddy Score 3 of 7, below the standard
What you need to know
- Much Ado About Nothing runs two love plots side by side: Claudio and Hero, and Beatrice and Benedick.
- Don John's tricks try to wreck Claudio's match, while Don Pedro's gulling scenes trick Beatrice and Benedick into love.
- The comedy darkens at the broken wedding, where Claudio shames Hero and the Friar plans to say she has died.
- Dogberry's Watch uncover Borachio's plot, Hero is revealed alive, and the play ends in a double marriage.
- The title puns on 'noting', so overhearing and gossip drive the whole plot.
