Much Ado About Nothing

William Shakespeare's play 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a comedy written for all class levels of people. Like most of Shakespeare's plays the story line is similar in ways to his other creations. This play in particular though, has several characters that share some characteristics.
To begin with, the women named Beatrice is an important part of 'Much Ado About Nothing'. She is Hero's cousin; they are so close they could be sisters. Beatrice is also the niece of Leanoto; who is the Governor of Messina, Italy. She is very smart, but is known for her wittiness. Beatrice is very sarcastic whether it be positive, or negative. It seems like she is almost afraid to love someone because she does not want to get hurt, or no one is good enough for her. Deep down inside she actually loves this man named Benedick, but shows her feelings for him by saying she can't stand him. Beatrice only knows how to express herself jokingly, through sarcasm.
Secondly, Benedick comes from the princes' side. He is very much like Beatrice in the sense that he too is very sarcastic. Benedick is mostly, only sarcastic towards Beatrice because of how she treats him. He is not always making the mean, sometimes funny comments. Benedick also shows his feelings for Beatrice by making her, and everyone else think that he dislikes her. Beatrice is related to Hero, and because of that Benedick does not think highly of her either. Benedick is friends with Don Pedro, the prince of Messina, and Lord Claudio. He is against marriage, and says that he will never marry.
In Addition to, both Benedick, and Beatrice have quite a bit in common leaving very little to contrast. Their excuse for fighting all of the time could simply be that they are so much alike that that is why they don't get along. Beatrice, and Benedick are caring, and they hide their emotions for each other by being rude to one another. Although, Benedick is only that way towards Beatrice, and shes quick to say things like that all of the time. They both don't think too much of marriage, but in the end they get together, and plan on marrying. As is turns out they never stopped liking each other. The whole thing was like being in grade school all over again.
To conclude, as I mentioned before this play has many characters with the same role, or attitudes. In this case, between Benedick, and Beatrice they have so many comparisons that they can't stand each other. They all live happily ever after married, everyone gets along, and the bad guy is severely punished.
