Much Ado About Nothing
Written by: William Shakespeare
Plot
The three most important plot points of Much Ado About Nothing are when Don Jon successfully convinced Claudio that Hero was unfaithful to him, when Claudio publicly shamed Hero, and when it was revealed to Claudio that Hero was alive and the two got married. When Don Jon convinced Claudio that he was betrayed it caused major conflict in the story. When Claudio publicly shamed Hero multiple conflicts arose including Benedick challenging Claudio to a duel, Hero fainting, as well as a plot being put into motion that involved Hero playing dead. Finally, when Hero was reveled to Claudio as alive, it resolved all other conflicts in the story and ended the story.
Robert Downey Jr
As shown in his stellar performances in the Iron Man and The Avengers movies, Robert Downey Jr fantastically portrays an individual who's quick with a joke and has plenty of wit. For this reason Robert Downey Jr would be a wonderful fit for the roll of Benedick.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow showed the world how well she plays an independent woman in the Iron Man movies when her often times couldn't rely on her counterpart Tony Stark. In these movies she also showed how well she can handle a war against wits so she wold make a perfect fit for Beatrice.
Josh Radnor
Josh Radnor is most well known to most people for his roll as Ted Mosby who is a handsome, young man who is eager and quick to fall in love. this character is very similar to the one of Claudio. Since Josh portrayed this Ted Mosby character so well I would choose him to play Claduio.
Theme
Jealousy
The popular song "Jealousy" by the famous band Queen perfectly represents one of the themes of Much Ado About Nothing. The Jealousy theme is portrayed with two main character; Don Jon and Claudio. Don Jon shows this theme as he tries to destroy Claudio's happiness purely because Don Jon was jealous of how likable Claudio was. Claudio's jealousy is of Borachio because he believes that he has made love to Hero. "Jealousy" by Queen represents Claudio's type of jealousy better than the type help by Don Jon. Freddie Mercury in this song sings about how jealousy, and with it suspicion, consumed him. This is very similar to Claudio's jealousy because Clausio was also suspicious of Hero's unfaithfulness.
