Essay
Betrayl is a theme introduced in the very begining of the play. how does this constant stream of betrayl affect the plot and which characters are affected by it.
In the novel Much Ado About Nothing betrayl is one of the major themes of the play. Betrayl as defined in the Oxford dictionary can be defined as a disloyal person as well as revealing something that should have been kept a secret. Betrayl can also be ambiguous. A person maybe betrayed in a form of deception. In this essay one will be focusing on the betrayl of the following characters Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero.
A perfect example of betrayl was the never to be love connection between Benedick and Beatrice. Benedick a young lord from Padu and Beatrice were always fussing and verbally fighting with one another and their dislike for the other was very clear. From the first pages of the novel we see them exchanging harsh words. Benedick acted as tho he know not of her existance." What my lady disdain are you still living?." The duo also stated that they would never want or desire to be with the other however all of that change dramatically. In at three scene one we saw Hero betray her cousin with Ursula when they tricked Beatrice into thinking that Benedick was inlove with her.
An0ther example of betrayl in the form of deception was between Hero, Claudio and Don Pedro. In the begining of the play Claudio and Don Pedro were having a converstaion that led to Claudio telling his friend that he desired Hero. However Claudio never thought himself to be a ladies man so he didnt know how to woo Hero. Don Pedro decided that he would woo her for his friend at the masquarade ball and he did jus that he pretended to be Claudio and wooed hero. Hero and Claudio were engaged to be married shortly after. In this example Hero was betryed by Claudio because his friend wooed her in his poace and she had no knowledge of it.
The final example of betrayl is once again between Hero and Claudio in this circumstance both were betrayed. Claudio was fooled into thinking that his bride to be laid with another man the night before their wedding. It was terrible because claudio embarssed her infront of everyone at the wedding and she was dishonoured by her father.
To conclude it is easy to see that the plot of the play was based on betrayl along with other things. Moreover without betrayl there would not have been a climax or even a complication in the novel by Mr William Shakespare.
