Best Answer

Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing is basically a play of characters that make a big deal out of nothing, hence the name. This play can be interpreted as Shakespeare making fun of those who founded their knowledge of things on gossip and hearsay; making gossip understood as truthful and letting it get out of hand. This understanding of gossip leading to bigger issues is relevant in any society with communication and ideals concerning social standards, thus throughout modern times.

What message does the poemMuch Ado about Nothing trying to convey to the audience?

Much Ado About Nothing is a play, not a poem. It also is not a sermon, and so is not intended to convey a message, only to entertain.


Why would the Elizabethan audience enjoy the play Much Ado about Nothing?

Elizabethan audiences enjoyed the plays they watched for pretty much the same reasons as people do today, which is why Elizabethan plays keep getting produced. They were probably quicker to understand what they heard than we are, and were better listeners (modern people expect a story to be shown to them, not told to them). Elizabethans particularly enjoyed wordplay that used puns and alliteration: that is why Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost was much more popular then than now. A lot of the wordplay in Much Ado is still accessible to modern audiences.

How does the audience feel towards Don John in Much Ado about Nothing?

(I really need help this is for a GCSE course and I need inspiration on this) I really recommend that you take two hours and watch the Kenneth Branagh movie of this play. Then you will be one of the audience and will know exactly how the audience feels about Don John (who is played by Keanu Reeves in that movie in case you have trouble spotting him).
