Beatrice And Benedict Falls In Love

True love is a bond shared by few and dreamed of
by everyone. The appearance of a relationship may
not accurately depict the true reality of the
situation. The bond between Claudio and Hero
appears far stronger than that of Beatrice and
Benedict, yet events of the play provide evidence
for the converse. In Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado
About Nothing, the masked emotions of two couples
are evoked through subterfuge. Upon first sight,
Beatrice and Benedict seem as if they abhor one
another as they...
