5/23/17 Deception that Leads to Love...or Heartbreak? As human beings we have all been deceived one way or another. Do you remember a time of deception? In William Shakespeare's, Much Ado About Nothing we discover the lives of Bendick and Beatrice along with Hero and Claudio plus their friends who are deceived. Shakespeare uses deception and disguise with emotion and logical strategies. Different types of deception and disguise can also make one gullible and a little too prideful also, it can make or break relationships. For example, through deception one can become gullible especially when they're falling in love. In the book Claudio falls in love with Hero, love at first sight.

Emotional strategies are used in this deception because new feelings will be discovered for two characters. Benedick’s friends are going to trick him into falling in love with Beatrice. “This says she now when she is beginning to write to him for she’ll up twenty times a night and there...she sit till she have write a sheet of paper” (2.3.122-125).

Deception can make or break relationships by using emotional strategies or logical strategies. Sometimes deception can make someone a little too prideful.

Whereas, Beatrice and Benedick fell in love through deception which had been used with emotional and logical
