"Much Ado About Nothing" Questions

1.  Don John was planning to overthrow Claudio's and Don Pedro's plan at the great supper by disquising himself as "Don Pedro" and have Hero fall inlove with him (Don Pedro), instead of Claudio. In doing this, Claudio would think that Don Pedro had backstabbed him and taken Hero for himself.

2.  Claudio was inlove with Hero.

3.  The perception of love in comparison to Beatrice and Benedict was that even though they both constantly argued (merry wars), deep down inside they were both really inlove with each other.

4. Don Pedro and Claudio made a plan to have Don Pedro disquise himself as Claudio at the great supper, so that he could try to get Hero to fall inlove with Claudio. After all is said and done, Don Pedro would leave Leanato's home so that "the real Claudio" could then have the chance to persue his life with Hero as he wished.


Personally, the movie is much better than the book in terms of understanding what is really going on. I say this because, while reading the book, there was difficulties in understanding and grasping the context of what the characters were saying along with the tone in which they said it. However, in the movie everything became clearer. With the help of the movie, I was now able to know what exactly was going on, and what emotions were really given off during the scenes. The book was also a little too "wordy" and the charcters were portrayed as plain and boring, where as in the movie, the lines were short and easy to comprehend and the charcaters were better revealed and portrayed, which added emphasis to the story.
    The music, which was used to complement the different scenes, gave the movie its additional zest which caused it to be a little more interesting.
