So as I am reading my secondary text by Harold Bloom, a lot of good questions and points are arising. “They make much ado about nothing because they know that nothing will come of nothing, an so they speak again” (Bloom 193). We all know that Beatrice is a drama queen and will do what ever it takes to be noticed. The way Beatrice is the way she is, Bloom says is because she as a character craves the audiences attention and response to what is happening. “Her wildness is her freedom, and that sense of liberty, more even than her wit, captures her audience” (Bloom 199).
Then this is a love story right. A love play. Romantic comedy to narrow it down even more. Bloom raises the question of LOVE. What is it about love? Why love? Well love is nothing and it is everything in the same. Can this one feeling be both and nothing at the same time? “Love is much ado about nothing” (200). There is a nice piece of advice that Shakespeare gives “Get married and expect to be cuckolded” (201).
Like Joe said, and Doctor Sexton says that something comes out of nothing. Why don’t we all play this love triangle game beat around a bush that pretends to not be there, and get over it. And in in the end, something came out of nothing- a merryful wedding.
