I thought Much Ado About Nothing was a good play but the beginning was kinda boring it got better like after Act 2. When Don Pedro trick Claudio to think hero is cheating on him. The play is good because it get you thinking in the end of ever act. Overall a good play.

This play was a little confusing about the part that Leanoto told Claudio that to marry Beatrice to pay his deat because he felt bad about Heros death after calling her a cheater and she was not. Beatrice was going to marry Benedick and how was Claudio was going to marry Beatrice. But the rest of the story was about love and lies.

I liked the play. I like that it always had something going on and changed the conflict so that the reader wouldn't get bored. I didn't really like the language they used. I found myself getting lost in the text. Overall, this was good.

For me personally I really did loved the play. I loved it because of the kinds of action it had between lying and finding out at the end that everything came together because of lies and rumors. I also liked the facts that there were kind of in a way a twist within the story with Claudio almost marrying Beatrice and with Benedick killing Claudio to prove the love for Beatrice but he never killed Claudio at all. Overall I really loved the play so much it was really interesting and I loved reading it.

My thoughts of "In Much Ado About Nothing" is a great play. I like the play because it is combination of comedy and tragedy. Some parts that were interesting was when Beatrice told Benedick that "If you do really love me, you should kill Claudio". I thought that Benedick would kill Claudio for to get someone that he is interest.

I personally thought that the play was very interesting. It had a lot of plot twist i never expected to happen. One thing i did see coming was that Benedick and Beatrice were going to like each other at the end but not with lies and rumors. The other thing i liked about the play is that they resolved all the problems that Don John tired to cause.

In Much Ado About Nothing my personal opinion of the play is that it was a cool play. It had lots of drama and things that probably not me but others can relate to. On the other hand, I liked it but it's not something that I would look into or pay attention too much about. Their were some things that were interesting, but nothing really that actually caught my attention, but also it wasn't boring. It just wouldn't be something I would read on my spare time.

I actually liked the play it was really interesting well except the beginning because I found it kind of confusing like the way it was written and I kept getting people mixed up. What I liked about the play was the amount of drama and distrust it had in it, because it kept me interested and trying making predictions on what I thought would happen next. There were also some really good characters. The part of the play I found very interesting was the fact that Claudio was committed to marrying Hero but once he heard rumors about her cheating with another man he wasn't even willing to hear her side of the story.

In Much About Nothing, I learned that lies and rumors can be helpful especially in love. Lies and rumors helped Claudio and Hero to get together as well as Benedick and Beatrice. This shows that lies and rumors was an important part in Much About Nothing. I also liked the play because not only it talked about love but how love can react to lies and rumors. However, every act of the play was intense; as well as the characters role.

I thought that the play was fun. I found it interesting that I couldn't predict was going to happen next. For example, I didn't expect for Hero to fake her death and then still want to marry Claudio after everything that he had done to her at the alter. I was also surprised on how I was able to understand Shakespeare play. I enjoyed it so much that I would like to read more of Shakespeare writing.

I though the play was going to be confusing and hard to understand because it was written back then. But with the help of Mr. Marks I was able to understand it and know what was happening. I liked during the end when everyone thought that Hero was dead and Claudio was sad and wanted to marry Beatrice. This was interesting because he wants to get marry with another woman that fast. Thats crazy.

I found the play very confusing, I thought that it's message could be twisted by some people. In the play a lot of the characters played cupid and I thought some people might try and do that with their friends, without knowing if the two people like each other. In addition it had a Romeo and Juliet twist when Hero faked her death, probably because it's the same author, but I thought that made the play less interesting. My favorite character from the play was Beatrice because whenever I pictured her I could see this big woman with tattoos, riding a bike in todays times period. I was excited on how other characters from the play would react to what she said because she had ideas that no other woman in the play every dared to have. She questioned men and marriage.

My thoughts towards the play Much Ado About Nothing are that i found the play very interesting. I thought that the play was interesting because i liked the fact that the characters believed all the rumors whereas we knew what was actually going to happen. The one thing about the play that i actually didn't like is that the characters didn't make an effort to see if the rumor was actually true or not. I didn't like that they didn't try to find out if the lie was true or not because the characters just believed everything they heard. One part of the play that i found funny would be when Beatrice is talking bad about Benedick right in front of his face.

I thought that the play was interesting because I never thought that Hero would fake her own death. Making me think why would she do that in the first place and how the people around her would react. I also found the play boring at a point because all they were talking about was how much the other person loved them. Which were lies in the first place, but over all I liked the play and want to see a movie about it.

My thoughts on the play Much Ado About Nothing are that I found almost all of the plays interesting. The plays were interesting because all the characters believed the rumors and lies that were going around. Another thing that I liked was that we, the audience, weren't able to predict the correct thing on our first try. What I didn't like so much about the plays were that the characters wouldn't find any real evidence to disbelieve the lies or rumors.

My thoughts about this play at first were very confusing. I did not understand what was going on until I start red reading the modern text. Then i figured out what was going on and I started liking it, it was intense. I got mad when they made a lie about Hero, i was so mad, like why can't they just let them be. But then I got happy because they got back together and they proved Hero's is innocent. I liked the play because it had to do with love and I like love stories.

What i thought about Much Ado About Nothing i saw it more like a novel because it was like a love story but then there would also be tragic moments. The most interesting part to me was when the rumor was going around that Hero had died and she killed her self because Claudio was not going to marry her.

My thought for this play are that it was a interesting play and it had some good situations that the characters had to go through. It was an interesting play because some parts were not noticeable, they were surprising situation. And the situations that the characters were put through were good because it could happen in real life. So, i liked this play and also learned plenty from it.

My thought about Much Ado About Nothing was confused it because the beginning of the story I understand.,But at the middle going to the end I got lost. I could understand it that much and the name of the character confused like which is who. It was nice and exciting story.

The play was kind of ridiculous because it showed how gullible people were. Also, it was kind of interesting at some point. I did like it for the most part but got frustrated at some point to how easily people got lied to. It was decent but I feel it could have been better or more realistic.
