Much Ado About Nothing
English 11 Project By: Matthew Korpan
Jennifer Lawrence as Hero
In the movie Hero was portrayed as a very beautiful, gentle and Kind young lady who will be loyal to Claudio. I believe Jennifer Lawrence would be a great person to play Hero because I think she Beautiful like hero, so she would be a good physical fit . Also I think she would be able to act like a very kind, gentle and be a loyal wife to Claudio.
Adam Sandler as Benedick
In the movie Benedick is kind of a goofy guy just like Adam Sandler is in most of his movies. I believe Adam Sandler would represent a goofy guy who has no intention of falling in love, just like Benedick. Also physically they don't have a lot in common but they are pretty similar in body size.
Kevin Durand as Don John
To me in the movie "Much Ado About Nothing" Don John appears as the tough bad guy who's out looking for trouble. The reason I chose Kevin Durand to play him is Because in many movies he is in, he's considered a bad guy, just like Don John. Also Kevin Durand appears physically as a big, buff, good looking guy just like Don John did in the movie.
People Do Crazy Thigs For Love
Claudio accused Hero of being unfaithful to him.
One night Claudio saw what he believed to be Hero and a man having sex while he walked by a window on the street, but instead of confronting her and asking her what happened that night he does nothing till the next day. That next day was their wedding and that was also where Claudio completely ruined Heroes reputation by accusing her of sleeping with another man in front of a big crowd. All this drama led to the story moving along in a course of proving that Hero was in fact loyal to Claudio and to save their marriage and Her reputation.
Tricking Claudio That Hero was unfaithfull
One of the biggest events in this movie was when Don John plotted to destroy Claudio and Hero's marriage by creating the illusion that Hero had sex with another man. This event led to basically the whole story because this led to when Claudio ruined the wedding. Don John almost got away with his scheme if it was not for the guards overhearing the conversation he had in the park bragging about what they just did. This was by far the biggest event in the whole play because it set most things up later on in the play like the ruined wedding, Benedick challenging Claudio, Hero's fake death and her wedding to Claudio in the end when he found out the truth.
Benedick and Beatrice fall in love
In the beginning of the story both Benedick and Beatrice express how they will never love anyone, or get married. This creates a kinda ironic part of the story because those two do end up marrying each other. But they were tricked into believing that they had feelings for each other by their their friends, who purposefully let Benedick and Beatrice over hear them saying how Benedick liked Beatrice and vice versa. Their eventual love led to many things like Beatrice convincing Benedick to kill Claudo for ruining Hero's reputation. Also it led to their marriage in the end.
Theme song- Grenade By:Bruno Mars
The theme I chose to express was that "People do crazy things for love". I believe there are may examples of this in the play. The song I chose to represent this theme was "grenade" by Bruno Mars, this song literally displays tons of crazy things that someone wold do for love. In the play Beatrice convincing Benedick to kill Claudo for ruining Hero's reputation, which is crazy because Claudio is one of Benedick's best friend. That example shows how Benidick would do something as crazy as murder to show his love to Beatrice. In the song Grenade one line says " I would catch a grenade for you" and another one says "I would jump in front of a train for you". If those two sayings don't demonstrate love for someone I dont know what would. In conclusion I believe that this song perfectly represents the theme of "People do Crazy things for love".
