Much Ado About Nothing is a play that has a setting in a place called ‘Messina’ Sicily. At this time Sicily is being ruled by Aragon. Infidelity, deception, mistaken identity and nothing are the themes which are beautifully delineated in the play. The mutual hate of the characters for each other and turning of the hate into true romance is quite magical and noteworthy. Separation is definitely followed by reconciliation in Shakespearean comedy. His comedies end on a happy note, often with marriage bells, dancing and singing. Characters impersonating the other, masquerade and mistaken identity provide comic relief and also allows the characters to express their views on others freely. In Much Ado About Nothing, there are a few soldiers who have returned from the war. Benedick and Claudio find themselves in their known world again; reacquaint themselves with Beatrice and Hero respectively. They fall in love towards the end while at loggerheads throughout the play.’ Nothing’ is more important as it was a synonym of ‘noting’ at the Shakespearean time.
