Book Review: Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare

The action is set in Sicily, where Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon, has recently defeated his half-brother, the bastard Don John, in a military engagement. Apparently reconciled, they return to the capital, Messina, as guests of the Governor, Leonato. There Count Claudio, a young nobleman serving in Don Pedro's army, falls in love with Hero, Leonato's daughter, whom Don Pedro woos on his behalf. The play's central plot shows how Don John maliciously deceives Claudio into believing that Hero has taken a lover on the eve of her marriage, causing Claudio to repudiate her publicly, at the altar.

My Thoughts...

This book is about two pairs of lovers.

One is the handsome soldier Claudio a beautiful girl Hero's love story. They fall in love with eachother so quickly and decided to marry eachother immediately. Everyone in the town was very happy that they will wed except one person. Don John, he'd plan to make some trouble with them...

The pair of lovers used to argue and didn't like eachother. But one day, heir friends had a secret plan with them...

The book is very interesting because of the funny dialogues. But I have my own opinions about this book. I think the characters are not serious enough about love and marriage. For example, Claudio fell in love with Hero and just met her once and they decided to marry! I can't imagine! They hadn't known eachother yet! I don't agree about this way to marry. But my small doubts can't hide Shakespeare's big success in this book. It's still a really good comedy to read!
