much ado about nothing
Cole Woods’ Much Ado About Nothing Portfolio
Act 1
1. I think that the title is implying that in the story there will be something that everyone makes a huge deal about but in reality it is either insignificant or literally nothing.
2. The setting is Messina, Italy at Leonato's house
3. There is an air of happiness set in the first scene due to winning the most recent battle with the loss of only a few men
4. She asks this in reference to Benedick as a clever stab at him. This is just a continuation of their constant battle of wits
5. Claudio is interested in Hero because she is beautiful and a great girl, but he is also interested in her because with her being Leonato's only child that makes her his heir and if Claudio were to marry her he could find himself swimming in a good bit of wealth
6. I think Claudio asks for other's opinions of Hero because he values his friend's opinions and he wants to learn what others see in and value about her.
7. Benedick is a witty man with a humorous side and he also seems to have a hatred for Beatrice. This first joke shows us that his humor is a very sarcastic type
8. I think there is a deep set bitterness between Benedick and Beatrice from the way they bicker and provoke each other.
9. Antonio tells Leonato that the Prince Don Pedro is in love with his daughter Hero. Leonato is excited to share this news because it is a big deal for the Prince to be in love with his daughter. 10. This scene shows that parent-child relationships are fairly good. Even though Leonato is excited about the Prince being in love with his daughter he is still going to talk to her about it and see what she has to say, demonstrating a strong bond between them.
11. Don John is very bitter over his most recent loss in battle to his brother Don Pedro.
12. I think that Borachio is very loyal to Don John. He gets his information by sneaking around, hiding, and eavesdropping on other people's conversations. I personally would not
