Much Ado About nothing is to me a gem within the Shakespeare plays for some reason I feel like I enjoyed this more than other more infamous comedies and tragedies. It had every thing that you could ask from in a Shakespeare work yet its when you think it'll enforce upon you the stereotypical tragic events when it comes forth to bring you a sense of calm after the tenseness. Like when Borachio is caught yet Leonato's impatience leads to the truth about Hero's innocence to not be acknowledged until after the event has occurred in which she is accused of being unfaithful by Claudius himself through the malignity of Don John, Don Pedro the prince's brother. I enjoyed it very much and I thought that the whole aspect of the plot being moved forward by a series of over hearings by all the characters was not only funny but something that kept me glued to the age. My favorite lines to come off of this are "Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were but little happy if could say how much. - lady, as you are mine, I am yours. I give away myself for you and dote upon the exchange. " coming from Claudio to Hero.
