In the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, love is a very important and consistent theme; on which the piece is based. The theme of love is important because from a young age people feel love. We want to know what love is. Where does it come from? How can I get it? What does it do? When will I get it? What do I need to have love? Love is something we wait for. We imagine our first kiss. Our first “I love you”. Our first sorrow. The truth is that love is made up of many things: pain, joy, compassion, understanding, longing and tears. Shakespeare uses the concept of love to show how important trust and loyalty are in any relationship. Trust is important to love because trust is the foundation of love. Trust is earned by showing loyalty over time. Having trust makes you feel secure in a relationship. It gives us the opportunity to share our emotions, our feelings, our memories and ourselves. . The model shown shows how hurt Claudio is when he discovers that Hero is untrustworthy. The hero's suffering and longing are manifested in the tears of Claudio's eyes, while the anger is manifested in Claudio's turning his back on him. The hero's fainting shows his sadness and confusion at all this turmoil. The outstretched arm indicates that she still wants to be with Claudio despite the fact that he doesn't trust her. When the hero dies, it shows that having trust involves a level of vulnerability, which Claudio also shows in the play. “If half of your external graces had been placed in your thoughts and in the counsels of your heart! But what is right, what is most foul, what is most just. Farewell, pure purity and impiety and impiousness. For the I will close all the doors of love and on my eyelids I will conjecture in the direction of the turn...... middle of paper...... commitment, chemistry, forgiveness, patience, kindness and honesty. These ingredients are not only for love, but they are also important in life. It is the loss and gain of love that makes us who we are. Losing a parent, who you thought you were, who you thought you could trust, and the people you love. . One of the things that Shakespeare revealed is that love makes life complicated. Whether you are a peasant or noble attending this play; everyone can understand. Love brings struggle, but it also brings a lot of joy in the process. It opens your heart to new beginnings and opportunities. The same way Claudio opened up to Hero's doppelganger or how Beatrice forgave Benedick and loved him anyway. It opens your heart to new places. Love is not a fantasy that we all hope exists, it is real. We just have to work to find it and work even harder to keep it. Who do you love?
