Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

4.0

Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is set in a town in Italy after a war was won with little to no casualties. The characters coming from the war include Don Pedro the Prince, Don John his brother, Claudio, and Benedick. To celebrate, they throw a party where the Prince plans to make people fall in love. This play was quite enjoyable despite being from Shakespeare and difficult to understand occasionally. Especially when watching the movie, the humor was clear and funny.

Spoiler

My favorite scene was when the characters tricked Benedick into loving Beatrice because it was clearly exaggerated, enriching the humor.

Another thing I now appreciate in Shakespeare's plays is the lack of stage directions. This gives more freedom to each interpretation, guaranteeing a different experience whenever you view a different one. This play is for anyone seeking humor and is willing to and capable of deciphering Shakespeare's language.
