Much Ado About Nothing & Noting
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that argue that in Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare builds a plot that is predicated on disproving the old adage "seeing is believing." Time and again throughout the play, the way in which relationships and behavior are perceived proves to be in error. In other words, the features that the characters note about each other prove to be misperception. Sometimes this leads to dire consequences; sometimes to love. No additional sources cited.

Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night/On Film
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper/essay that discusses 2 film adaptations. While there are numerous film adaptations of Shakespeare’s tragedies, the Bard’s comedies have proven to be notoriously difficult to translate successfully to the screen (Crowl 69). However, Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Trevor Nunn’s Twelfth Night (1996) successfully overcome the challenges inherent in a film adaptation of a Shakespearean comedy, as both films were artistically and commercially successful. First of all, these films overcome the problems of translating the plays from the restrictive confines of the stage to the visual options available in film. They also combine aspects of Hollywood storytelling and cinematic technique that are familiar to modern audiences with Shakespeare text and, thereby, imbue the classic plays with fresh energy and postmodern aesthetic.
