I found it charming and a few years ahead of its time, featuring some very strong-minded women with a bit of a Time’s Up flair.Marina Fiorato is half-Venetian. Be the first to ask a question about Beatrice and Benedick I found this a bit of a slog to get through. Anything that implies the "poor" Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon couldn't possibly have written our most famous plays smells of classism and taints a character that was amazing on his own. The author captured the spirit of plucky Beatrice and comical Benedick perfectly. I'm never really sure whether or not these characters were ever meant to be supporting characters or not, but they are definitely, for me, the two characters that I was the most interested in. Nobody is listening to you.”“Oh, look! Well written and compelling.I am a fan of Much Ado About Nothing and when I first read it I was deeply intrigued by Shakespeare's hinting that Beatrice and Benedick had a ~past with one another before the opening of the play.

But how did they meet, why did they part, and what brought them together again?Hidden in the language of Shakespeare's best-loved comedy Much Ado About Nothing, are several clues to an intriguing tale. It also suffers from modern woman syndrome, the heroine is very 21st century.

Loved it!! Some fetishism around the "Moors", from angles that reflect the plays, but each character feels like they are given the chance they deserve to deploy and exhibit their own sense of agency, good and bad.
they are separated as Benedick goes off to War and Beatrice's family because of obligations send her to Verona and to an unwanted betrothal. Much Ado About Nothing is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays; I've watched the 1993 movie, a local Shakespeare in the Park, and the 2011 version with David Tennant and Catherine Tate (anyone who is a fan of the play and hasn't seen that version should, it's SO funny and the costumes are WILD). So, in order to get the full effect of their brilliant gibes (and trust me, you really do want to), you might need to do a bit of translation to see what they’d sound like if we said them today.Don’t fret though—I’ve done a bit of the work for you. I've also read several retellings of it, though all of them only covered the events of the play. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. But I just couldn't bThis book is well-written. The two lead characters, who in their original Shakespeare play are clever, interesting, and likable, here are turned into idiots to make the plot work. The play Much Ado About Nothing is in my top 3 favourite Shakespeare plays, mainly because it is so hilarious. Much Ado About Nothing is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays; I've watched the 1993 movie, a local Shakespeare in the Park, and the 2011 version with David Tennant and Catherine Tate (anyone who is a fan of the play and hasn't seen that version should, it's SO funny and the costumes are WILD).

Aren’t you dead yet?”“How could Lady Disdain die when there are people like you to keep disdain alive? I loved the love story of Much Ado, but of course this cannot have the same and I'm afraid I lost interest part way in. I was also surprised and intrigued by the author's integration of a couple other Shakespearean plays and her interpretation and portrayal of Shakespeare himself.

Because if it worked for them… just kidding. So naturally when I picked up this book up at a little bookshop in Ireland, I was excited to see an expansion of their story.I think that this monologue was great and very interesting.I think that this monologue was great and very interesting.At the beginning of Much Ado About Nothing, it is obvious that Beatrice and Benedick know each other and have had an acrimonious relationship.
And it’s [: the action actually takes place before the Shakespeare play, and the couple spend a year apart doing other things before returning to Sicily – clever! I adore Much Ado About Nothing and Beatrice is one of my favorite characters in fiction. They eventually admit their love to one another with the help of meddling from their friends and well-timed letter reading, as only characters in a play can. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It’s my Lady Disdain herself! The word selection just added to the feel that this was an extension of Shakespeare's play. Beatrice and Benedick’s secret attraction is a running source of humor for their friends, but while Beatrice loves being on the giving end of mockery, she is far too proud to accept the vulnerability she feels at the receiving end. It all.
