Much Ado About Nothing is one of the four comedies of William Shakespeare. For generations this great classic of the world has provided delight to readers as well as to the audience who have watched it on the stage or on the cinema screen. It is a brilliant comedy of wit and humour immortalised by the presence of Beatrice and Benedick, the witiest pair of lovers in literature and the two blundering fools, Dogberry and Verges.
It is not without reason that this play has been prescribed for the stu¬dents of schools and colleges. To make the text completely comprehensible to the student community, it has been paraphrased carefully, keeping close to the text, retaining its original flavour.
After briefly describing the life and works of the great playwright, at the outset, the entire play has been telescoped into a couple of pages to provide an overview, before delving deep into its details. It is followed by an act-wise and scene-wise summary. Each scene has its critical analysis with reference to plot, characterisation and dramatic significance. Next to appear is explanation of important lines, and then the long-answer questions meant to acquaint the students with the pattern of examination.
