Claudio's Destruction In Much Ado About Nothing

Improved Essays
Shakespearean comedies always have some level of scandalous misfortune that drives conflict. In the end, this scandalous misfortune finds a way to resolve itself and brings all of the characters together. In Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”, the character Claudio sacrifices his reputation in order to comply with his religious and social values. For a man of this time to violate those values would be deplorable. Claudio was a venerable character who was in love with the lady Hero. No one could imagine the death sentence these two characters would virtually go through. Due to villainous characters, Claudio’s love for Hero would turn into destination. A destination that would eventually prove to be like a cruel fraudulent joke. In this

This is true in the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, when Claudio forfeits his marriage to Hero and sacrifices a life of happiness with her because he suspects her of infidelity. His willingness to abandon her reveals in him pride and a deep value for female chastity.

    In the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, he uses the comedic character functions of arrangers, blockers, new society, old society, and buffoons to establish that the play fits a comedy through the two main romantic relationships. The quick romance between the characters Hero and Claudio emphasizes their function as the new society as they bring about the comedic idea of coming together. Claudio tells Leonato that he wants his wedding, “Tomorrow, my lord. Time goes on crutches till Love have all his rites” (Shakespeare II, i, 360-337). Claudio’s excitement to get married promotes his role as new society, which moves away from the idea of living a bachelor life to the life as a married man.…

    In Much Ado, Don John tricks Claudio in believing that Hero is sinful and had an affair before the wedding, and he continues to devise a scheme making it seem like Hero is having an affair with Borachio. Both Iago and Don John are characters filled with hate and it is this emotion that drives their actions. Iago states, “One Michael Cassio, a Florentine / that never set a squadron in the field, /nor the division of a battle knows / more than a spinster; unless the bookish theoric, / wherein the toged consuls can propose / as masterly as he”(Othello I. i. 21-27). Iago is venting his anger regarding how the Moor, Othello, chose to select Cassio as his officer rather than himself.…

    In Shakespeare’s Othello, Othello suffers “the classic war between passion and responsibility” due to his conflicting thoughts about Desdemona allegedly being unfaithful, while attempting to maintain his responsibilities of being a rational and composed leader. By way of Iago’s manipulation and lies, Othello begins a metamorphosis of his character, that causes him to become a man who loses sight of his moral responsibilities and duties, leaving his decisions completely governed by his passion. The significance of Othello’s transition in character is incredible to the play, as it contributes to the theme of how unchecked passion can stray even the strong-willed from maintaining their moral responsibilities. Othello’s overwhelming thoughts of doubt and betrayal, planted by Iago, cause him to lose sight of his responsibilities, in being a poised and rational leader.…

    In Shakespeare’s play Much Ado about Nothing, each character was developed perfectly in order to fully present the plot at hand. As an author, Shakespeare carefully planned the usage and characteristics of each character in his play. He used language, comedy, and the personal attributes of each character to really develop them in his writing. After continuing to read more of Shakespeare I see that he not only did this for Much Ado About Nothing, but he makes sure he develops his characters carefully, but also perfectly for the plot at hand. In Much Abo About Nothing, there were many characters that I feel Shakespeare carefully took his time developing.…

    Love is often represented in romance films and literature as an everlasting adoration that never falters nor fades. However, Shakespeare suggests the fickle nature of love in his comedy Twelfth Night as numerous characters fall in and out of love, and experience its euphoria and misery. For instance, the lovesick Duke Orsino experiences the elation of love, yet also the loneliness of rejection; Lady Olivia instantly goes from loving grief to pursuing Cesario; and Orsino renounces his love for Olivia in order to marry Viola. Thus, through Shakespeare’s portrayal of character’s attitudes and actions in Twelfth Night, it is undeniable that he is suggesting that love is a source of joy and pain, which results in fickle affections as an attempt…
