Don John And Don Pedro Foil

His surrender reveals his internal workings and mindset, but it also provides a deeper understanding of Much Ado About Nothing in quite a few different ways. Benedick’s deception of himself and subsequent sacrifice is evident of a major theme of the play. There are many kinds of deception. Some are easily labeled as evil, such as Don John’s plot to make Claudio mistake Margaret for Hero, but some are beneficent. While it might seem as if there is a dichotomy of good deception and evil deception, the reality is that there is a kind of grey-area. It is difficult to distinguish what is good and bad, and as a result, there is much confusion amongst the characters. Even Benedick deceiving himself is not clearly one or the other. While his protections are to keep his heart safe, he comes off as arrogant and plays into the stereotype of a typical single man. In protecting himself, he hurts others. Benedick constantly belittles Claudio for wanting to give up life as a stag soldier, and it is implied that Benedick had caused Beatrice pain in a previous courtship, perhaps turning her to her anti-marital sentiments. Deception being a grey-area subject matter leads the audience to the conclusion that many of the characters of Much Ado About Nothing are two-faced. Nothing is as simple as it seems; Benedick comes off as cruel because of the veil

The aim of this essay is to define the nature of the feud in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and to discuss its function in the dramatic development of the play. The conflict between the families of Montagues and Capuletes is presented as the outcome of an ultimate expression of patriarchal society in Verona which promotes virility at any cost and obscene sexual innuendo targeting women.

What seems to be a comedy play for an audience who enjoys a theatre with good humor and romance, “Much Ado About Nothing” contains much more than just entertainment. If we dig in deep, William Shakespeare’s play has much more than a tragic story with happy ending; even that is debatable. The theme of this play revolves around deception, plotting against your own, personal gains and rejection. The audience may understand the concept of love and romance flowing within the characters because it was to portrayed that way but the critics would argue the fact that some of the characters like Beatrice and Benedick were made to fall in love with each other through deception. As simple as the characters were, the situations arousing in the play became more complexed as scenes passed by. What led to the trouble and chaos in the play also led to the solution in the end, when Claudio and Don Pedro were deceived into thinking by Don John that Hero was unfaithful. That very same idea also solved the problem in the end when Leonato, Hero’s father, deceived Claudio by making him believe that she is dead and that it is his duty to clear Hero’s name by reading out on her tomb and marrying the said niece who looks just like Hero. Again the plotting against own is present where the said niece turns out to be Hero and she comes back to life again.
