Shakespeare
In this essay I will explore Shakespeare’s two plays Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado about Nothing. These plays are presented in the 16th Century. Romeo and Juliet is about 2 lovers who meet but they are from rival families. At the end of the play they both kill each other, it ends in a tragedy. Much Ado about Nothing is about lovers who meet but Claudio thinks that Hero cheated him but at the end of the play it ends and all the couple marries and live happily ever after, this play is a comedy.

This makes me think that Leonato is a soft person and he will let his daughter have a choice to marry or not. The word “acquaint” suggests that Leonato is soft and not forceful towards his daughter.
In Act 3 scene 1 the relationship between Lord Capulet and Juliet worsens by saying “How, how, how, how? Chopped Logic!

The words “How, how, how, how?” makes me think that Lord Capulet showed her so much love and that is how she repays him by saying no to the marriage.
Looking back at Much Ado about Nothing we can see that Leonato is disappointed with Hero by saying “Fate! Take not away thy heavy hand! Death is the fairest cover for her shame that may not...
