Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing is said to be a romantic comedy. One reason being because of the way Beatrice and Benedick throw sarcastic remarks at each other and bicker into falling in love with each other. Another reason being how Claudio and Hero fall in love, are tricked into breaking up, and end up back together again. Although the play is supposed to be humorous, it does contains events that are not so comical. Because of this, Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is not only humorous

The comedy in Much Ado About Nothing derives not just from the subversion of gender and romantic norms through the characters of Beatrice and Benedick, the couple who went against all the standards of the day, but some comedy also comes at the expense of those who do conform to society, Hero and Claudio. In Elizabethan times, women played a very small part in comedies, and normally The audience are conditioned to laugh at those who conform, but laugh with those who subvert it. Gender stereotypes

From the start of Much Ado about Nothing, directed by Josie Rourke, starring David Tennant as Benedick and Catherine Tate as Beatrice you notice the modernized aspect of the play.

The film entitled “Much Ado About Nothing” was an original Shakespeare classic. John Wedon attempts a retelling with the use of modern set and uses the original old English script. However, I fear that this in itself was the folly of this film.

Much Ado About Nothing centers around the concept of the power of words, whether a character speaks, or they are implied. Beatrice is an adequate representation of the effect that words and language can have on how others perceive a person and who a person is internally.
