Much Ado About Nothing is a different type of Shakespearean comedy, admired primarily for the brilliant wordplay of its principal characters, Beatrice and Benedick; their witty exchanges and the events that occur within their extended group are part of Shakespeare's pointed commentary on the workings of human social behavior. Written shortly before 1600, Much Ado About Nothing beautifully displays Shakespeare's ability to accurately capture honest human qualities and feelings. Beatrice and Benedick have complex emotional motivations that they themselves do not fully understand, and they speak to modern audiences with intelligence and humor.
