How does the play portray and explore the relation

Reference no: EM133429149

Case Study: Much Ado About Nothing is a play about love (duh!) but not just romantic love: there's also friendship, sisterly-love, parental love (and filial love) and even a hint of divine love (in the form of the priest who offers words of solace...well, OK, conniving/manipulative advice to Hero after she's framed and abused at her own wedding!).

This means, of course, that it's a play about the relationships between these different kinds of love...or, at least, about the ways in which they interact. So, for this last written task of the week, I would like you to consider:

Question: How does the play portray and explore the relation of romantic love to other kinds of love?

Is the play suggesting that romantic love is in some way 'better than' or 'superior to' other kinds of love? Or that it is in some way 'more'? Or is it suggesting the reverse (or even the obverse) of that? Is the play (re?)evaluating romantic love in light of these other kinds of love? Is it presenting romantic love as a kind of solution to the problem of these other loves, or is romantic love the problem that has be fixed by friendship and/or familial love? Or is there something else going on here that is altogether more subtle? Be sure to base your response on specific and particular language from the play, and to develop your answer via careful and sustained analysis of particular details from the text.
